It looks like the database entry for this species needs renaming to Salsola tragus:


Russian Thistle (Salsola squarrosa subsp. squarrosa)
Prickly Russian Thistle (Salsola tragus)

Rather than propose the changes directly, I'm bringing them up here in case other related plants may also need adjustment. Here is the CoL entry:

It looks like the genus name needs to change and the subspecies need to be merged with the species. I have not looked to see if there are other plants in the genus which changed names.
