Suaeda australis (Austral Seablite) is a species of plant in the family Amaranthaceae, native to Australia. It grows to between 0.1 and 0.9 metres in height, with a speading habit and branching occurring from the base. The leaves are up to 40mm in length and are succulent, linear and flattened.[2][3] They are light green to purplish-red in colour. Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).
The species occurs on shorelines in coastal or estaurine areas or in salt marshes. It is native across Australia including the states of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and the south-west of Western Australia.[2]
In irrigated areas, the species is known as a salinty indicator plant and is referred to as Redweed.[4]
