B. halimifolia was first reported in Spain in 1941 in Lekeitio in the Basque Country (Allorge, 1941). It is currently widely naturalized on the Atlantic Coast of the Basque Country and of Cantabria. It occurs in almost all estuaries of the Cantabric coast, from the rio of Tina Mayor at the border with Asturias east to Txingudi in Guipuzcoa. In Cantabria it was first recorded in 1958 (Guinea, 1953) in the bay of Santander (Herrera & Campos, 2010). In the Asturias, it was first recorded in 1998, in the marshes of Tina Mayor.
