Nitraria billardierei, commonly known as nitre bush or dillon bush,jam or dried and stored.
It is a broad and low shrub, up to 2 metres (7 ft) high and 4 m wide.[4]
Nitre bush is found across all mainland states of Australia. The plant's spread and germination in areas of heavy clay soil is assisted by the fruit's consumption by emus.[5]
