I came across this very interesting looking plant while browsing the Internet. Apparently, it is edible (seeds, plants, and maybe the pod), but I just can't find the name of it. It grows in the desert, but I'm not sure exactly where.

Here are some pictures of the plant:

Based on a Google image search it seems to be glossonema edule, and is found in and around Qatar.

  • Thanks! I tried using Google image search to no avail. What search parameters did you use to find it? – Pamela Jan 26 '16 at 06:26
