Amaranthus blitoides [ var. reverchonii ] f. densifolius (Uline & W. L. Bray) Raus , stat. nov. ≡ Amaranthus blitoides var. densifolius Uline & W. L. Bray View in CoL in Bot. Gaz. 19: 315. 1894. – Lectotype (designated by Bayón in Bayón & Freire 2011: 173): North America, U.S.A., Arizona, Hackberry, 18 Sep 1883, Rusby 804 (NY NY00951459). Syntype: North America, U.S.A., Colorado, Pueblo Co., 10 Sep 1873, Greene 614 (NDG NDG15477, verified by B. J. Hellenthal in sched. 14 Mar 2016).

Remarks — Revised material of the narrow-leaved variant has been seen from the Ionian island of Zakinthos, some of the Kyklades (Thira, Thirasia, Tinos), Kriti, the East Aegean islands (Chios, Kos, Rodos) and North Central Greece (Pella, Pieria). The seemingly limited distribution of Amaranthus blitoides var. reverchonii in Greece does not reflect a chorological or ecological focus but may be due to inobservant fieldwork and rather points to random introduction events in the past.
