Until recently this genus was considered to be represented in Australia by a single species S. kali, s. lat., sometimes divided into two varieties, var. kali and var. strobilifera Benth. Most States and Territories now prefer to follow S.Rilke, Biblioth. Bot. 149: 1-190 (1999) in recognising the Australian species as S. tragus L., although little Australian material was examined in that study. Three subspecies can be recognised: subsp. tragus native to Asia and Europe, northern Africa and possibly Australia; subsp. pontica native to Europe, SW Asia, northern Africa and Australia in coastal subtropical and temperate regions where it is variously regarded as native or adventive; and subsp. grandiflora endemic to tropical Australia. Not all jurisdictions find these subspecies satisfactory, with infraspecific taxa recognised in WA, NT and Vic only. Nor is there agreement on the native/naturalised status of subsp. tragus and subsp. pontica, except in the ACT and Tas, where the whole species is considered naturalised.

Salsola populations in Qld and NSW are referred to S. kali (as S. kali var. kali in NSW) and S. tragus s.l. Other jurisdictions do not recognise S. kali as occurring in Australia, and treat the name as a misapplication to S. australis or S. tragus s.l.
