Atriplex Mexicana is a plant species known for its green, succulent leaves, and its use in traditional Mexican medicine. While this is the plant's accepted scientific name, there are several synonyms that refer to the same species, including Atriplex elegans, Atriplex patula, and Atriplex rosea. These synonyms exist due to differences in naming conventions across different botanical classifications, as well as variations in the plant's physical and chemical characteristics across different geographical regions. Regardless of the name used, Atriplex Mexicana remains an important plant with many traditional uses in Mexican medicine, including as a diuretic, to treat gastrointestinal diseases, and to regulate blood pressure.
