It is a low-growing shrub, typically reaching a height of 0.5–1 m, with grey-green leaves and small, yellow flowers.

Atriplex spongiosa, commonly known as the pop saltbush, is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaranthaceae. It is native to central Australia, but has been introduced to South Africa and Iran. It is a halophyte, meaning it can grow in media with a high concentration of NaCl, and is a low-growing shrub, typically reaching a height of 0.5-1 m. Its leaves are grey-green in color, and it has small, yellow flowers.
