The three species of Salicornla are sometimes difficult to distinguish. 

 Salicornla subterminalis , on the left, is heavily branched; annual pickleweed 

 (S^. bigelovii ) , center, is sparingly branched, and pickleweed (S^. virginica ) , 

 right, is usually intermediate in branchings and more bluegreen in color.
