Atriplex are C-plants, with a characteristic leaf anatomy (kranz anatomy). The genus "Atriplex" is distributed nearly worldwide from subtropical to temperate and to subarctic regions. Most species-rich are Australia, North America, South America and Eurasia. Many species are halophytes and are adapted to dry environments with salty soils. The genus evolved in Middle Miocene, the C-photosynthesis pathway developed about 14.1-10.9 million years ago, when the climate became increasingly dry. The genus diversified rapidly and spread over the continents. The C"Atriplex" colonized North America probably from Eurasia during the Middle/Late Miocene, about 9.8-8.8 million years ago, and later spread to South America.
Tea growing in Azerbaijan which grown in the Lankaran. Azerbaijani tea consumed mainly within the borders of Azerbaijan, but it also exported to neighboring states, such as Turkey, Russia (Dagestan), and Georgia. The main tea-growing bases of Azerbaijan today are Lankaran, Astara, Lerik, Masalli, Zakatala and Balakan districts. Currently, in Azerbaijan, the development of tea-growing is related to Lankaran-Astara economic region. In the Sheki-Zagatala economic region, this growth is relatively weak. The local tea plantations lie between the Caspian Sea and Talysh Mountains where the subtropical climate and humidity make it possible for growing tea.
