Chenopodium subglabrum (S. Watson) A. Nelson
Bot. Gaz. 34: 362. 1902.

[Chenopodium HOME]

Etymology	From the Latin: glabrous smooth or hairless
Description:	The following characters seem to indicate that this rather rare plant is not very closely allied to C. leptophyllum Nutt. It is glabrous, usually bright green; loosely and slenderly branched, the branches very widely divaricate; the few-flowered clusters scattered on the branches. In this last respect especially it is as strongly marked as in its habit. The flowers are often borne singly and never more than two or three in a cluster. The fruit is large and depressed, and the calyx loose and open at maturity. - A. Nelson
