[Chenopodium HOME]

Etymology
 The fruit pericarp shows very distinct lines, that gives it its name: lineatum.
Description:

Erect small to medium size sparse plant, gray green, branched, 5-7 dm high. Leaf blades lanceolate, few lobed, ~2 cm long by ≤ .9 cm wide, base cuneate and apex obtuse or acute, entire. Secondary leaf blades elliptic or narrowly elliptic,  ~3-1 cm long by 1.6 cm to .4 cm wide apex acute, base cuneate. Inflorescences are terminal and axillary panicles of glomerate spikes, ~ 25 cm., with sessile flowers, ca. 1 mm in diameter. Fruits ≤ 1.2 mm by .6 mm wide, lenticular, somewhat flat above and below, with a strongly acute equatorial margin. Pericarp adherent, with alternating dark brown color radii perpendicular to the equatorial margin both above and below, brown and light cream to white. These very evident lines in the pericarp give its name to this taxon.
Distribution:
 California: Alpine, Eldorado, Inyo, Mono, and Tulare counties. Nevada: Washoe county.
