Now i also have my radar on Crossidium, i am even more confused. But in this photo i see several things...
Thanks from a tip from Bruce, I re-identified this plant as Suaeda calceoliformis. Helmut Grunberg's Birds of Swan Lake names this area Plover Flats and he says “A typical plant found here is Sea Blite (Suaeda calceoliformis).”
A few self-seeded plants growing nearby.
