Tetragonia tetragonioides

Tetragonia tetragonioides, commonly called Newzealand Spinach or Warrigal Greens is a prostrate, sprawling herbaceous plant from the fig-marigold/ice-plant family Aizoaceae.

Its velvety, bright green leaves are oval to diamond-shaped (7.5-10 cm long). The leaves are thick, and covered with tiny papillae that look like waterdrops on the top and bottom of the leaves. The small yellow flowers of the plant are produced in leaf axils and the fruit is a small, hard capsule covered with small horns

The plant occurs naturally in coastal areas and salt marshes and is native to Australia and Newzealand, though it is considered an agricultural weed in some parts of Queensland.

EDIBLE USES
Young leaves can be used like spinach, but they contain oxalic acid which can irritate the throat. Blanching the leaves and discarding the cooking water will help to remove the oxalic acid.)
