The recretohalophyte swith specialized process, salt secreting structure, salt glands or salt bladders, can secrete salt from thier bodies, and they can easily adapt themselves to many kinds of salt habitats. Recretohalophyte resources are rich in China, and they can be widely used with great value. This paper describes the species, geographical distribution and utilization of recretohalophytes in China and summarizes the advance of study on salt secreting structure and mechanism of the recretohalophytes. Futher researches are also proposed in this paper. Fig 4, Ref
