The '''Tamaricaceae'''  are a [[flowering plant]] [[family (biology)|family]] (the [[tamarisk]] family) containing four [[genus|genera]] and a total of 78 known species.<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal | author = Christenhusz, M.

The family is native to drier areas of [[Europe]], [[Asia]], and [[Africa]]. Many grow on saline soils, tolerating up to 15,000 ppm soluble [[sodium chloride|salt]] and can also tolerate alkaline conditions. The [[leaf|leaves]] are generally scale-like, measure 1–5&nbsp;mm long, overlap each other along the stem, and in some species are encrusted with salt secretions.
