|phenology=Flowering spring–fall.
|habitat=Shadscale, rabbitbrush, ephedra, eriogonum, blackbrush, and mixed shrub-grass communities on fine-textured substrates, talus slopes of canyons of the San Juan and Colorado Rivers
|elevation=1100-1900 m
|distribution=Utah.
|discussion=<p>This distinctive plant has been regarded as a portion of the variation within an expanded <i>Atriplex canescens</i>, with which it shares the feature of 4-winged, pistillate, fruiting bracteoles, but it is possibly more closely allied with <i>A. confertifolia</i>, with which it hybridizes. However, the plants simulate the growth form of the geographically contiguous <i>A. gardneri </i>var.<i> cuneata</i>, and possibly its affinity lies in that direction.</p><!--
--><p>Garrett’s saltbush grows on slopes along the canyons of the Colorado and San Juan rivers, mainly rooted into the fine-textured saline substrates of the Chinle and Moenkop formations, with a thin mantle of sandstone detritus derived from Navajo and Wingate sandstones. Much of the habitat has been inundated by Lake Powell.</p>
