C2ED454E0CCBF031040F51AFBFF8D633.taxon	discussion	The precise limits to be assigned to the genus are as yet very uncertain. The last four species here include d, with the seeds all erect and the inflorescence axillary, are certainly nearly allied to the European Blita originally characterized by the succulent perianth, but recently extended to the majority of Chenopodia with erect seeds. The adoption of the latt er character entails however the assigning C. nitrariacea and C. Bonus-henricus to Blitum, a most unnatural combination, and leaves C. glaucum and C. rubrum, in which the seeds of some of the flowers are often erect, ambiguous between the two genera. I have therefore followed F. Mueller in reuniting them, at least as to the Australian species, and the very variable consistence of the fruiting perianth in C. carinatum and C. rubrum, leaves it very doubtful whether even the Linnean Blita, with their berry-like fruits, can be distinctly separated from Chenopodium.	en	George Bentham, Ferdinand Mueller (1870): Chenopodium & Dysphania.

Leaves alternate, sometimes clustered at the base of the flowering branchlets, linear oblong or linear-spathulate, very obtuse, entire, contracted into a short petiole, from under 1 / 2 in. to nearly 1 in. long. Flowers sessile, usually clustered in interrupted or dense spikes, either simple and terminal or forming short divaricate branches to a terminal panicle, mostly hermaphrodite with a few males intermixed. Perianth-segments broad, thick, concave, slightly imbricate in the bud. Stamens 5, shortly exserted, the filaments flat and glabrous. Ovary ovoid, erect, the styles short, rather thick, united at the base. Fruit enclosed in the unaltered perianth. Pericarp membranous. Seed erect, flat; embryo circinate, the radicle usually inferior. - Rhagodia nitrariacca, F. Muell. in Trans. Phil. Inst.

DAD1BDC1BF92F1BBD98FF0F4F17AB1EE.taxon	discussion	some other specimens referred to this species by F. Mueller appear to me to belong to Rhagodia spinescens, but are too young to determine. In all those which I have quoted as typical, I have uniformly found the seed, either already enlarged after flowering or quite ripe, erect and enclosed in a thin dry pericarp.	en	George Bentham, Ferdinand Mueller (1870): Chenopodium & Dysphania.

FFF3874DD8D2DFA5790B988757D1650E.taxon	description	A small plant apparently annual, although sometimes hard and perhaps fleshy at the base, with ascending branching stems of 2 to 3 in., glabrous or nearly so. Leaves all petiolate, ovate or oblong, obtuse, entire, rather thick and sometimes fleshy, not above 2 lines long. Flower-clusters all axillary, but nearly all close together, forming a terminal leafy spike occupying the greater part of the plant, the lower clusters sometimes rather more distant. Flowers numerous in the cluster, chiefly females. Perianth of 3 or rarely 2 segments falling off together and enclosing the fruit, the segments all equal, obovate, clavate, concave, contracted at the base, about 1 / 4 line long. Fruit still shorter, obovoid, somewhat oblique; style 1, very finely filiform and very deciduous. Stamens 1 or 2 but difficult to find, the anthers falling off early from the very minute flowers.	en	George Bentham, Ferdinand Mueller (1870): Chenopodium & Dysphania. In: Flora Australiensis.

B4A90D9FA42D34DB8EB8718E0D08F75C.taxon	description	A diffuse or procumbent glabrous or slightly glandular-pubescent annual, much larger than the two preceding species, although the ascending branching stems rarely exceed 6 in. Leaves petiolate, oblong or lanceolate, obtuse or scarcely acute, rarely above 1 / 4 in. long. Flower-clusters all axillary and distinct, very numerous, occupying the greater part of the plant, globular and scarcely exceeding 1 line in diameter when in fruit, and often much smaller, although containing 10 to 20 or even more flowers, chiefly females, with a very few hermaphrodite or male ones. Segments of the fruiting perianth single and falling off separately, about line long', obovoid-clavate and as it were inflated, shortly contracted at the base. Seed ovoid like that of D. littoralis, but more regular and slightly flattened; styles 2, very fine, but shorter than the single one of D. littoralis. Stamens 1 or 2, with very short broad filaments and comparatively large anthers. - D. littoralis, Moq. in DC. Prod. xiii. ii. 86, not of R.

Moquin's description is taken from a specimen of Drummond's in which he had correctly observed the two styles, but in which 1 have always found in every cluster as many or nearly as many fruits as enlarged perianth-segments, but as these fall off separately, it is difficult to ascertain whether there may not sometimes be two to one fruit. Moquin in describing three has probably followed Brown's character founded on the true D. littoralis.	en	George Bentham, Ferdinand Mueller (1870): Chenopodium & Dysphania. In: Flora Australiensis.

159785E01C1AB1C186B9A194FFAD9DC6.taxon	description	An erect branching annual of 1 to 3 in., slightly glandular-hairy. Stem leaves in the lower part of the plant petiolate, ovate or obovate, obtuse, entire, 2 to 4 lines long. Flowers resembling those of D. littoralis, hut the clusters crowded in dense terminal cylindrical leafless spikes of 1 to 2 in., and consequently occupying the greater portion of the plant. Perianth of 3 obovate-clavate concave segments, about 1 / 4 line long, and falling off with the fruit. Style 1, very deciduous.	en	George Bentham, Ferdinand Mueller (1870): Chenopodium & Dysphania.

Stems 1 to 3. Ovary ovoid; styles 1 or 2, very finely filiform. Fruit ovoid, the pericarp inseparable from the seed. Seed erect testa crustaceous with a very thin membranous inner integument. Embryo circular enclosing a mealy albumen; radicle inferior. - Small annuals. Leaves alternate, flat, entire. Flowers minute, in clusters either all axillary or in terminal spikes, the females numerous, the hermaphrodite ones few in each cluster.	en	George Bentham, Ferdinand Mueller (1870): Chenopodium & Dysphania.

F76083635D5BCC537B406BF0EF34C558.taxon	discussion	The genus is limited to Australia. It is nearly allied to the section Orthosporum of Chenopodium, but readily distinguished by the remarkable perianth.	en	George Bentham, Ferdinand Mueller (1870): Chenopodium & Dysphania.
