Introduction A historical survey of the treatment by different authors of the various senera now included in the tribe Chenopodieaeis given by Scott (19?8aand b). He recognised two subtribes, the Chenopodiinae and the Rhagodiinae, and distinguished them principally on the presenceof a dry membranouspericarp in the former and a fleshv pericarp in the latter. With regard to the genera found in Australia, Chenopodium, Dysphani!, and Scleroblitum (as Chenopodium sect.Atiplicina) were placed in the Chenopodiinae,whrle Einadia and Rhagodia were placed in the Rhagodiinae.I have not found the nature of the pericarp to be a character suitable foi discriminatins subtribes since, as detailed elsewhere,it can be succulent or dry in specieswhich b! other criteria appear to be closelyrelated. For this reasonno subtrib"i are recosnisei in this paper. Furthermore I have redefined the generaChenopodium and Erna-draso as to include under both some speciesin which fruits are characteristicallv drv and others in which they are succulent.Further notes on the historv and circumscrintion of someof the supraspecificcategories are given under Lherespective g"nu." o, """- trons,

The speciescircumscription adopted here is rather broad (by the standards of workers on the Chenopodiaceaein the European flora). Many taxonomic problems remain, the resolution of which would often require extensivefield work or the use of experimental methods, neither of which are within the scope of the present studv. The namesapplied 1o the non-endemicspecies have been taken from-recentpaDe;s by workers in Europe, U.S.S.R., and North America and the relevant taxa aie-not here critically revised.

_ The synonymy provided for the speciesendemic to Australia is as complete as I have been able to ascertain. For other speciesthe synonymy has been limited to namesbased on Australian collectionsor to namesused in significant publications on Australian plants.

The author abbreviationsused after botanical names follow those suggestedin the Draft Index of Author Abbreviations compiled at The Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens,Kew (1980).The abbreviations for journal titles is generally in agreement with G. H. M. Lawrenceet al., Botanico-Periodicum-Huntianum(1968), while the abbreviations used for books have, where possible,followed the suggestionsof F. A. Stafleuand R. S. Cowan,Taxonomic Literature, ed. 2 (1976-).

For each taxon usually two collections have been cited for each State in which it occurs. However, all specimens studied have been determined and all snecimens bearing relatively precisegeographical data have been mapped.

In chenopodium sect. Auricoma vesicular mealy hairs ale found, characteristic of ttto."-ir."uitio" Leprophyllum. However, in addition, on the branchesof the inflor- escenceoccur contorted iubular, multi-cellular hairs that are evidently of a similar nature to the vesicular since they grade into them. sexuality. The speciesin the tfibe chenopodieaeconsidered here range in theil sexu- ality fiorn dioecy through gjmomonoecyto a monoclinous condition. In those taxa ihui ut" dio""loos the teirminal flower of a compound cyme tends towards the bisex- "ri.tut"; e.g.in a male planL of Rhagodia the terminal flower has a large pistillode, and in a'feirale plant more prorninent staminodes,than do the lateral flowers' In those taxa that aie gynomonoeciousthe terminal flower of a cyme is bisexual while ihe lat"ral flowers ar"efemale; this is tlpically the situation in Einadia' ln Dysphania the terminal flower is either bisexual or male (if the latter it possessesa prominent pistillode),while the lateralflowers are male.

Pericarp. The pericarp varies from being diaphanous (in D-yspfianra),membranous (in some specles of Chenopodium), leathery (C,henopodium species), succulent (e'g' iRhagodia eic.), or crustaceous(Scleroblitum). In some species Chenopodiu-m deseitorum) it can be either succulent or dry in the same subspecies,evidently de- pendent to some extent on the environmental conditions. The unusual nature of the crustaceouspericarp of scleroblitum is describedunder that genus where it is noted that althoug-hin this character it is unique among the chenopodiaceaeof Australia, it is similar to Monolepis, a genusof small herbs found in Asia and America'

Chenopodium glaucum is a polymorphic speciesin which numerous infraspecific 'Australian' taxa have been described.The plant is by some authors distinguished from the European as a distinct species(C. ambiguum) and by others as subspecies or variety of C. glaucum. Within Australia rnany variants are found, some of which may be of very recent introduction while others could be indigenous. The typical variant of C. ambiguum has deltoid 3-!obed leaveswhich are sinuate-dentateon the margin whereasin the typical variant of C. glaucum the leavesare narrow-ovate to narrow-elliptic with sinuate margins; Aellen (1960-1961)noted differences in the flower morphology but this varies considerably between populations which have similar leaf types. I consider it to be unprofitable to attempt to distinguish by name any of the numerous variants found in Australia since to do so would require a world-wide familiarity with the speciesand a knowledge of the application of the many infraspecific names.Some of the variants found in Australia correspondclosely to those found in Europe so that subsp. glaucum also occurs in Australia if subsp. ambiguum should be recognisedas distinct. Most Australian collectionsappear to be of a prostrate plant frorn boggy, often subsaline,situations; in Europe variants also occurwhich havean erecthabit-

Aellen (1960-1961)recognised C. glaucum subsp. ambrg'uumas being a native to Australia, New Zealand, and Easter Island, and as a recent introduction to Switzerland. The plant from Easter Island was earlier named C. glaucum var. pas- chaleby Fuentes.

Another member of section Chenopodium (and the type of the genus)is C. rubrum L. This specieswas recordedfrom Victoria by Ewart (1931),however, the specimens* on which this record was based arc C. glaucuml this error was pointed out by Willis (1973).

Habitat. A weed.of agriculture.

This speciesis rather variable in morphology and difficult to distinguish from C. album, another highly complex taxon. The only unequivocal record is the Symon specimencited above although other collectionsincluded by me under C. album may belong to C. opulifolium.It was first recordedin Australia by J. M. Black (1912)who cited a specimenfrorn Henley Beach, South Australia but this was later seen by P. Aellen (1927 in litt.) who consideredit to be better placed under C- albun. Ln ad,- ditional character useful for distinguishing the two specieshas been pointed out by Beaug6 (1974 p. 305); he notes that in the seed of C. album the micropyle has the form of a dimple (a scar) while in C. opulifolium it resemblesa knob (i.e. it is con- vex). I have been unable to confirm this observation in material of C. opulifolium availableto me.

Work by Cole (1961, 1962) and Wilson (1980) has shown that both C. album and C. opulifolium are hexaploids (2n=54) unlike most other weedy speciesof the section which are either diploids (2n=18) or tetraploids(2n=36). Battandier (1888-1890p. 753) states that one can find a1l intermediates between the two species.It would therefore be reasonableto accept a subspeciesstatus for C. opulifolium as was done by Maire (1962op. cit.).

Nomenclatute. In the publication by Koch and. Ziz (1814 op. cit.) the name 'Chenopodium opulifolium. Schrad in. lit.'appears, without a description but with a 'Ch. referenceto album Borkh. in Rhein Mag.' i.e. to M. B. Borkhausen(ed.), RheinischesMagazin zur Erweiterung der Naturkunde vol. 1:115 (1793).Here there is a description of the form of Chenopodium album found in the valley of the Rhine. I have not attempted to lectotypify this speciesnor to confirm that the plant de- scribed by Borkhausen is the same as that to which Schrader gave the name C. opulifolium (although the description agrees).The name C. opulifolium was also validly published by Decandolle (1815 op. cit.) with referenceto the publication by Koch et Ziz (1814),to 'C. vinde Loiseleur'(1806) and to'C. erosumBastarde' (1814). Beaugd(1974) cites as type a Schrader collection from 'Palatinate'.

The name Chenopodium triangulare Forsskal (1775) was given by Beaugd (1974) as a probable synonym of C. opulifolium; it is basedon a plant from Yemen and has generally been placed in synonymy under C. murale L. (e.g. by Christensen 1922). Beaug6points out that the latter synonymy could not be correct and that the only speciesfound in Yemen to which the description applies is C. opulifolium.If this is so then C. triangulare is the correct name for this species.The type was not seenby Christensen and is not present in Copenhagen(herb. C); I have not attempted to searchelsewhere.

Chenopodium detesfansresembles C. vulvaria in having the foetid odour of rotting fish causedby the chemical trimethylamine which is presumably located in the oil glands that are plentiful in the leavesand in the cortex of the stems.Apart from the different habit and larger leavesof C. vulvaria, it differs from C. detestansin having almost completely united tepals, usually 5 stamensunited into a disc at base,and an obviouskeel to the seed.

The orginal description of C. detestansand that provided by Allan (1961) stated that the flowers have four stamens (a most unusual number) whereas in material I have examined from New Zealand and Australia (including the lectotype) the number in the hermaphrodite flowers has been one or rarely two.

Chenopodium detestansis presumably endemic to New Zealand (the solitary re- cord from Australia, cited above,is probably an introduction), however,there is also the possibility that it is an early introduction to New Zealand from South America sinceit behavesas a weed and is quite distinct from other Australian or New Zealand endemic species.The absenceof recent Australian collections suggeststhat it is not common in that country, although in the field it could have been overlooked or con- fused with C. vulvaria.

Neither Kirk (18??op. cit.) nor Allan (1961 op. cit.) suggestedthe probable affin- ities of C. detestansand this was not mentioned by Aellen (1960-1961)or Scott (19?8b) in their conspectusesof the genus. Murr (1910) placed it in sect. Chenopodiastrum (= sect. Leprophyllum), in which decision he was followed by Maiden and Betche(1916). Cheeseman (1925) and Ulbrich (1934)suggested an affin- ity to C. vulvafia, probably being influenced by the odour the two specieshave in common;the latter author placed it with C. vulvaria in sect.Euchenopodium (= sect. Leprophyllum). My studies suggestthat Chenopocliumdetestans is most closely re- lated to C. carnosulum Moq. (1849) and' C. scabricauleSpeg. (1902) both of which are indigenous to South Anerica (C. carnosulum is also recorded from Mexico and Texas). In the broad sense the three taxa could reasonably be treated as being conspecificfor they are very similar in vegetative and floral characters.Aellen and Just (1943)placed C. scabricaulein synonymy under C. carnosulum,however, Giusti (19?0)and Planchuelo(19?5) considered them to be distinct being distinguishedin part by the free pericarp of the former speciesand adherent pericarp of the latter. Chenopodium detestanshas an adherent pericarp and thus in this character is more similar to C. carnosulun; it differs from both C. carnosulum and C. scabricaule in having a foetid smell, a character which is noticeably lacking (accordingto available descriptions,from the lwu Americanspecies.

C. murale. The young fruit of C. muralg when dry, has a leathery pericarp and it is probably for this reason that Moquin consideredit would be somewhatfleshy when mature.

Chenopodium murale was presumably an early introduction to Australia. It may be readily recognisedby the usually glabrous leaveswith prominent antrorse teeth and by the morphology of the seed.

Perennial -herbsor weak subsirubs largely covered with a mealy indumentum of discrete globular vesicular hairs. Flowers monoecious,those terminal to the inflor- escenceand its branches male, the others female. Perianth 5 lobed, mealy outside with vesicular hairs. Slamens 5, united at baseinto a sparselypuberulous disc. Fruit baccate or dry; pericarp glabrous, free from seed, membranous to succulent with a watery mesocarp.Seed horizontal, lenticular to depressedspherical; embryo annular, Three speciesendemic to Australia.

The speciesin this section have, in floras and herbaria, frequently been confused with each other, for they are similar in indumentum, leaf-shape,and in flower and fruit morphology. In habit they are intermediate between herbs and shrubs beins either herbaceousperennials or weak shrubs with straggly branches.The fruits when succulent have a watery interior and, on drying, Ieave either an inflated or a thin wrinkled pericarp which is often sticky but lacks the viscous character of the meso- carp in Rhagodia.Because of their often shrubby nature and their often succulent or semi-succulentfruit, these specieshave sometimeseither been placed in Rhagodia or confused with one of its species.In that genus they are obviously misplaced; their semi-woodyhabit, their monoeciousflowers, and their watery fruits (when baccate) clearly set them apart, while their habit and fruit also make them out of place in the genus Clrenopodium.To segregatethis group of speciesat the generic level is unde- sirable due to the similarity betweensome variants of C. desertorum and such north- ern-hemispherespecies of Chenopodium as C. vulvaria. I have therefore included them in that genus,a coursewhich is least disturbing of current taxonomic practice. Within Clrenopodiumthe speciesof section Desertorum have most in common with those of subsectionLejosperma Aellen et Iljin of section Chenopodium (correctly of sect.Leprophyllum) in which are included the speciesC. album, C. opulifolium, and C. vulvaria.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA; Tinga Tingana,Strezelecki Creek, D. E. Symctn5845 (ADW).

NORTHERN TERRITORY: 24 mi [38.6km] S of Alice Springs,D. J. Nelson 666 (cANB).

Distribution. The typical variant is found in north-central New South Wales and "central south-central Queensland;the Australian" variant is found in western New South Wales, northern South Australia and the southern portion of the Northern Territory. Map 9.

Habitat. Yaries accordingto variant involved.

In the eastern limit of its distribution (near Dubbo) this subspeciesis a weak per- ennial with small ovate leaves (lamina to 10 mm long) and a thin closeindumentum on the flowers; towards the west the leavesincrease in size (lamina to 15 mrn long) and becomemore orbicular, the plant is rnore erect, and the indumentum becomes denser and thicker. There appear to be a number of local variants within the general transitional cline and, in addition, plants may be found intermediate in character be- tween subsp. anidictphyllum, subsp. microphy.llum, and subsp. desertorum, particu- larly in the areasof overlap of these subspecies.

In southern Queensland subsp. arrdioplyllum frequently has a strong smell of stale fish (as is also found in subsp. virosum) but this is not always the caseas has been noted by collectors.Several collectors also note that the plants are very palat- able to stock. The distribution map for subsp.anidiophyllum indicates a marked dis- junction between the central Australian and the eastern populations which is not reflected in the morphology of the plants from the two areas; specimenscollected from north-eastern South Australia and north-western New South Wales are vir- "Centre", tually identical to those from the that is, they have an erect habit with straight branches,and relatively large leavesand flowers, these have a thick vesicular indumentum. Further east the plants becomemore straggly with thinner and smaller "central" leavesand flowers. The Australian variant appearsto be usually found on "eastern" deep sand while the variant is generallyfound on clays or Ioamy soils.

I have included under subspeciesanidiophy um the central Australian plant which has thicker and usually larger leaves than that found in central New South Wales from where the type comes.Also included is a variant found in the northern Flinders Range with rather thick reniform leaves.Although these and other regional variants have features which give them a distinctive appearance there is intergradation and there is considerable morphological variation. An additional reason for not splitting up this complex further is the difficulty of expressingthe subtle differencesin a manner which can be interpreted by others.

Some specimens have a habit and leaf shape intermediate between subsp. anidiophyllum and Chenopodium curvispicatum, they also have a faint reticulate or- namentation of the testa. It seems likely that these plants are the result of introgressivehybridization betweenthe two taxa, particularly since they are found in areaswhere the putative parents also occur, that is in western New South Wales and in the Flinders Range.

Some of the specimens referred to subsp. anidrbp-hy1.lumare possibly intermediates betweenthe subspeciesdesertorum and microphyllum but this cannot be recognisedeasily without field experience. '(TSI ,(t) I) 281 eIeA|'?t'81,8r proJsaldBq:yIEoJcIA

Distribution. South central New South Wales, possibly also in central Victoria. Map 9.

Habitat. Clay soil.

The arrangementand morphology of the flowers of subsp. virosum are the same as those found in the other subspeciesof C. desertorum and it is with this speciesthat the plant's affinities obviously lie. The subsp. virosum is rather similar to subsp. microphyllum in leaf shapealthough readily distinguished by its smell. This smell of trimethylamine is also present in C. vulvaria and C. detestans;subsp. yrrosum may be distinguished fuom C. vulvaria by the differently shaped Ieaves and perennial habit and from C. deteslans by the flowers which in that specieshave only one or two stamens.

The single herbarium record of subsp. vr'rosumfrom Victoria is accompaniedby a label in which the locality 'Daylesford' has been queried; until further collectionsbe- come available its occurrencein that State must remain in doubt.

The epithet 'vrrosum' is taken from the latin word virosusmeaning foetid.

This section is very similar to sect. Leprophyllum particularly with the addition to sect.Auricoma of C. auricomiforme which forms a connecting link betweenthem, as has been noted by Murr et Thellung (1915).It differs from sect.Leprophyllum prin- cipally in the presenceof tubular hairs in the inflorescence.

Habitat. Black Eoilplains and heavy loams, often in low-Iying situations.

This species was first recognised by Murr and Thellung who discovered it in Switzerland as an introduction with wool frour Australia. Aellen {1960-1961)con- sidered C. auricomiforme to be also a native of New Zealandbut it is not recordedby Allan (1940and 1961)as either native or introduced in that country nor is it present in the D.S.I.R. herbarium in Christchurch, N.Z. (CHR). Murr and Thellung (1915) consideredit to be intermediate in morphology between C. album and C. auicomum and subsequentlyMurr (1926)suggested it might be a hybrid betweenthese species.

Habitat. Clay soil and healy loam in depressionsand areasof periodic flooding.

This specieswas placed by both Bentharn (1870 l.c.) and Ulbrich (1934) in the same section as C. album, but Aellen (19601.c.) removed it to the monotypic section Auficoma, in which decision he was followed by Scott (19?8b).The shrubby nature of C. auficomum as well as the presenceof tubular hairs suggeststhat it should be consideredsectionally distinct from the annual speciesrelated to C, album.

Bentham's (1870) suggestion thaL C. auricomum might be conspecific with C. furfuraceum Moq. (1840) and C. acuminatum Willd. (1799) is unacceptable since Chenopodium furfuraceum is a synonym of Rhagodia candolleanaMoq. (1840) q.v., while C. acuminafum is an annual specieswith a sharply keeled nargin to the seed, it is native to Asia and not found in Australia.

Owing to its palatability to stock this specieshas virtually disappearedfrom large areas of the pastoral country. It is also edible to humans and Max Koch (1895 in sched.)records it as being eaten by Aborigines in western New South Wales.

Pericarp menbralous, pubescent. Seed horizontal to vertical; embryo annular.

A monotypic sectionindigenous to Australia.

This section differs from sect. Auricoma principally in the spinescent habit, the weak rnealy indumentum which becomesscaly with age,and the pubescentpericarp, characterswhich, individually, are indefinite in their application but which together demarcateC. nitrariaceum as a very distinct taxon.

Scott (1978b)included in this sectionRhagodia uficrna (Gand.) Paul G. Wilson (as a speciesof Chenopodium), however, R. ulicina is a dioecious plant with a fleshy pericarp and was originally placed in the genus Chenopodium only through Gandoger'signorance of its morphology.

How- ever, Spach (1836op. cit.) when describingthe gewtsAmbrina, included in it both C. multifidum L. (as A. pinnatisecta Spach) and C. ambrosioides(among other species). Moquin (1840) while accepting the genus placed C. ambrcsioides in Ambnna sect. Adenors (which he stated to be the typical section) and.C. multifidum in the genus Roubieva.The latter name was basedon Roubievh Moq. (1834)with the one species R. multifida (Chenopodium multifidum L.). The gdneric narr'e Ambrina is theiefore illegitimate being superfluous and is to be typified by the type of the name which should have been adopted, i.e. C. multifidum. J. D. Hooker (1880) clearly based the sectional narr:.eAmbfina on Spach's generic name and gave it the same broad cir- cumscription. I consider that C. ambrosioides and C. multifidum belons to the same section so the effect of a lectotypification different to that of other rJcent authors (who have selectedC. ambrosioides)is not significant.

I have accepted the name Chenopodium sect. Ambrina in the senseof J. D. Hooker (1880).It was first used by J. D. Hooker in Flora Novae-Zelandiae218 (1853) with- out referenceto an author or to a basionym. He included two species,C. ca natum 'seed R.Br. and C. pumilio R.Br., and gave as a description vertical'. The name if treated as new is illegitimate, being superfluoussince it includes the lectotype of the section Orf}osporum R.Br. (1810).Hooker probably intended it to be based on the genusAmbrina and was following Moquin (1840) who included l:oth C, carinatum '.{aupfs uroq sprocar ar{ qclqld (626I uallav (raqars) wnlslnqpds J saprorsoJquB urt ',) raqars wn?elnqpds (I96I-096I) uorlduJsap s.uallav ol puodsarror aq1 'puBlsuaanb'uoldruBq{f,ou ?

168 Nultsia Vot.4, No. 2 (198g) The former speciesis ilistinguished by its slender spike-like inflorescencebranches in which the bracts of the flower clusters are very small or absent, while the latter lperie-sis _recognisedby its spathulate bracts. Comments on this speciescomplex by C. F. Reed in Flora of Texas (1969)and by J. A. Duke in Flora of Fanama (tSOf) ap-- pear to be apposite to the situation in Australia; 'polymorphically Duke remarks on C. ambrosioidis: perplexing, this species, or some of its subspecies,varieties or forms, is quite cosmopolitan',while Reed, after commenting 'combinations on two varieties, states that: of all characters vary to a degree that separating them is very olllrcult .

_ Vo,roschjlov(1942) and Aellen (1960-1961)recognised the following three taxa of the C. ambrosioidescomplex as being present in Australia:

C..integrifolium Vorosch., J. Bot. URSS 27:42 (7942) n.v.; Aellen in Hegi, Ill. FI. Mitt.-Eur. ed.2,3:596 (1960). C. spathulatum Sieber ex Moq. in DC., Prod. u/2:78 (1849);Aellen in Hegi, loc. cit. C. suffruticosum Willd. subsp.remotum Vorosch. op. cit. n.v.; Aellen in Hegi, op. cit. 595.

I have not atternpted to discriminate any of the abovetaxa.

This speciesis cultivated in some countries for its oil which is consideredto have anthelmintic properties while the leaves are used for making the drink known as Mexican tea. The variety ant-helminticum is also cultivated and its oil, as the varietal epithet suggests,has a vermifugal effect, which is more pronounced than that of the ,tVpicalvarietV. An account of the oil content of the plant found in Australia is given by Shapter (1941).

1?0 Nultsia Vol' 4, No 2(1983) Note 3: C. A. Meyer (1829 op.cit.) described Blitum sect. Ortllosporum without referenceto the name Chenopodium secl. Orthosporum R.Br. He did, however, in- clude in his sectionthe two speciesdescribed by Brown under sect. Orthosporum and therefore it can be assumedthat the names are nomenclatural synonl'ms. Moquin (1840)recognised Meyer's section but excluded both the speciesdescribed try Brown; instead he placed them in Ambrina sect' Adenor'^s.This error was corrected in a later publication (Moquin 1849). Note 4: The generic name Orthosporum (R.Br.) C. Meyer ex T. Nees (1835 on.cit.) was based on Blitum sect. Orthospotum (R.Bl.) C. Meyer (1829 op'cit') but without any mention of Robert Brown or of the two speciesBrown had placed in Chenopodium sect. Orthospotum. A' J. Scott (1978b p. 209) consideredthe generic name brthosporum to be illegitimate and gave as type O. rubrum (L.) T. Nees (= Chenopodium rubrum L.)t this was one of the two speciesnamed and illustrated by Nees under Orthosporum, the other being O. bonus-henricus (L.) T. Nees (= C' bonus-henricus-L.). However, since the generic name Orthosporum is indirectly basedon Chenopodium sect.Otthosporum R. Br. it has the sametype whicl is C ca- rrnatum R.Br. The tta*e Orthosporum is therefore legitimate and correct should the "carinatum grottp" be consideredto warrant separategeneric status. Note 5: The generic name Orthospermum was attributed by Opiz (1852 l.c.) to " Robert Brown and he gave as a synon)nn Orthospotum C. A. Meyer". It would therefore appear that the first name is an orthographic variant of the second, and that it was based on Brown's sectional epithet either directly, or indirectly through Meyer's combination under Blitum, or through the generic name Orthosporum C. Meyer ex T. Nees. Annual herbs, prostrate, ascending,or erect, pilose with segmentedhairs and with sessileor stipitate gland-tipped hairs, strongly aromatic' Flowersebracteate, smaLl in dense axillaiy clusters (condensedthyrses) or paniculate (C' saxatile),bisexual ard Iemale. Tepak 4-5, erect, united towards base,variously thickened and enlarged in fruit; stamins 0-1(2) opposite anterior or (in 4-merousflowers) anterior-lateral sepal; stigmas2, subsessile,slender. Pericarp membranous' Seed erect, lenticular; funrcle very short; embryo hippocrepiform around apex of seed; radicle inferior' Fruit de- ciduous with perianth, an abcissionzone forming at apex of pedicel. Distribution. Australia and New Zealand; almost cosmopolitan through recent introduction. Seven species,six of which are endemic to Australia and one to New Zealand. The habit, hair tlpes, ard inflorescencestructure of the speciesin this^section are similar to those found in Dysphania section Tetrasepalae; the principal differences betweenthese sectionsof the two generabeing found in the seeds.In Dysphaarasect. Tefuasepalaethe seed is globular or subglobular and the embryo either lateral or basal ln Chenopodium sect. Orthosporum the seed is lenticular and the embryo alwayshippocrepiform around its apex. Hybridisation commonly occurs between the speciesof this section (apart from C. pusiJium and C. saxatile) and several names have been given to the crosses or backcrosses;these are listed below with critical comments. Since the speciesthem- selvesexhibit considerablevariability the number of different variants is immense and it is pointless to attempt to name them. Where possible,herbarium specimensof apparent hybrid origin have been designated by a formula, but since parentage is often difficult to determine (unless a suite of specimenshas been collected) often only the more obvious parent has been indicated.

Habitat. Frequently an agricultural weed or an invader of disturbed soils.

There has been much confusion over the application of the name Chenopodium carinatum; this arosethrough Moquin (1840, 1849)not having seenthe type of that speciesor of C. pumilio and therefore including material of the latter under the for- mer name. This confusion was continued by Bentham (1870)who, while recognising both speciesplaced most specinens of each under C. cadnatum and included in it the plant later recognisedas the speciesC. melanocarpum.The situation was clari- fied by Aellen (1933) who, unfortunately, had an individual approach to the international Code of Botanical Nomenclature and who, for his understanding of the species,relied to a large extent on plants arising in Europe from seed introduced there in wool.

While I recognise C. carinatum as a distinct species, hybrids wilh C' pumilio, C. melanospermum,and C. cristatum are common, probably largely through the move- ment of seed of these speciesdue to agriculture and commerce;this is particularly apparent in Europe where numerous hybrids have been documented and in some casesnamed. The speciesexhibits considerablegeographic variation in leaf and peri- anth form in particular in the tepals which range from being slightly to strongly '(HJUSd) 't 'd ' 1,868uoslr/4 u1SErnaIN :(HIEgd) fl ', 'uo^rPureC :VI'IVUJSnV Ig09 raupr"J y Jo g [ur{ l'8ZI] Iur 08 NUSJSS.^I -1.

Habitat. Usually associatedwith deep red sand.

Specimensof this specieshave, in Australian herbaria, generally been placed with Chenopodiumuistatum, in some caseswith the suggestionthat they may be hybrids with C. melanocarpum.Chenopodium truncatum differs from C. cristatum most ob- viously in having a fruiting perianth which is truncate above (not with a rostrate apex), the tepals firmly united to apex (not free) and not so markedly crested; the pericarp is glabrous and glossy (not papillate and dull) and the lenticular seedhas a rounded rnargin (not keeled or grooved).From C. melanocarpum it differs in having almost entire leaves (not strongly lobed) and in having crested tepals. Seven of the collections (representingabout 15 per cent of the total) consistedof mixed material; in five C. cristatum was also present, in one C. melanocarpum,and in the other C. purnrlro. This suggestedthat C. truncatum was of hybrid origin. However, rnost sheetsof this speciescontained more than one specimenand in no casewas there any evidence of introgression. In addition hybrids between C. cristatum and C. mel- anocarpum which I have observedon sheets of mixed material have a different ap- pearance,being intermediate in morphology in both leaf and fruit characters.

The illustration provided by Aellen (1933) for the fruiting perianth of C. xbontei van.submelanocarpum resembles the fruiting perianth of C. truncatum (except for the union of the tepals in the latter).

WESTERN AUSTRALIA: Mt Magnet, Sept. 1903, W. V. Fitzgerald (NSW); Pass of the Abencerrages,Rawlinson Ra., A. S. GeorgeL2737 (PERTH); near Mt Squires, 2? Aug. 1891, R. I{elms (AD).

Superficially this specieswould appear to be related to the 4-merousspecies in the genusDysp?rania (e.g. D. rhadinostachya\ bfi in seedcharacter it is obviously differ- ent, being very similar to Chenopodium pumilio and, its allies of the section Orthosporum. Yet even here its placement is uncertain since the other speciesof this section have flowers arranged in compact glomerules,have one stamen, ald normally a 5-merousperianth. Aellen (1939in sched.)was of the opinion that it was a member of the Chenopodium botrys complex, but those species(arrd others of the section Botryoides) differ in having 5-merous perianths and horizontal seeds. In 1956 Brenan described the sect. Margaitiana which contained the single speciesCieno- podium congolanum (Haurn.) Brenan; this speciesis similar to C. saxatile except that it has whitish sub-globosehairs (as well as glandular) and only one stamen, in addition the terminal flower of each axillary cyme has a horizontal (not vertical) seed.Thus it appears trhat C. saxatile does not fit satisfactorily into any of the pres- ently recognised sections. Rather than create a further section, which would be nonotypic, I have expanded the circumscription of the section Ortiosporum to in- clude this species.

The axillary inflorescence(a dichasium) is similar in morphology to the compact glomerule typical of the sect. Orthosporum; its different appearancebeing due to the more open lateral brancheswhich, towards the baseof the plant, themselvesbranch and becomeflexuose.

The glandular hairs found in C. saxatile appear to be nodifications of the normal multicellular trichome; the gland itself being very small and often scarcely observ- able. This situation is very different to that in the other speciesof the section where the glandular hairs consist of a large globular gland cell, either sessileor on a short stipe.

The specific epithet refers to rocky situations in which Chenopodium saxatile is found.

Even so the circumscription of Dysphania re_ mained usatisf:actory for it included only specieswith three or fewer ierianth seg- me,nts.Th^e^ addit]on to the genus by Scott (19?8b) of the two speci^esplaced 6y (1930) Aellen in Chenopodium secL.Tetrasepala was a big improvement for it then becamea discretetaxon clearly separablefrom chenopodilum.scott recognisedthree sectionsin nysphania; these were basedon the number of perianth segmlnts (1_2,B, or 4) and the arrangement of the flower clusters (axillary oi spicate).ihese sections appear to, be natural ones (although the tepal numbers given-unnecessary by Scoit are not always correct) but -with-_so. few species it appears to be to provide an infragenericclassification.

The genus Dysphania is closely related to Chenopodium sect. Orf}osporum (as was recognised by Bentham, 1870). This section has similar glandular-hairs and Blomerulesof small flowers with 4-b tepals and one stamen. ihe only characters which sug.gest.that the two-generashould be recognisedas distinct are iound in the seed.In rysptaxla the seed(when erect) has either a basal or lateral embryo (or it is intermediate in position); when laterar the radicle is either inferior o..op".ror. trt Chenopodiutn secL.Orthosporum the erect, lenticular seed always t u.

The position of the embryo in the Dysphaiia seed,is-indicated by a correspondingdepresiion in the testa; thii I am ."fu.ii"g i; ". the embryo-groove.The radicle.is,situaied in a pouch formed by an invaginaion of the testa; this pouch is usually slightly protruding and, since at tlis point lhe testa is thicker, it also appearsdhrker in coiour. The orientation of the embry_g"oou""rrd lh" position of the pouch are charactersuseful in recognisingthe different-species.

The infraspecific epithet is derived from the Greek word eremia,a desert, alluding to the typical habitat of this plant.

Dysphania glandulosa may be distinguished from D. glomulifera (to which it ap- pears to be most closely related) by its relatively small leaves,its small tepals (which do not completely cover the apex of the fruit), its strongly papillate pericarp, and by the shape of its seeds.One variant of D. glomuliferu subsp.glomulifera also has pa- pillae on the pericarp but in this plant the seedis broadly compressed-obovoidor len- ticular whereasin D. glandulosa it is asymmetrically obovoid (flattened on the side bearing the embryo-groove). The specific epithet alludes to the glandJike appearanceof the papillae on the surfaceof the pericarp.

Habitat.ln clay or mud by fresh water.

Dysphania platycarpa may be readily distinguished from related species(i.e. D. glomulifera,, D. glandulosa, and,D. littoralis) by the slender claws to the tepals and by the peculiar fruit. This fruit, unlike that of all other Dysplanra species,is flat but slightly twisted (or sunken on the broad faces),and the pericarp is-minuiely granu_ late.

- The specific epithet is derived from two Greek words platy, broad, and carpos, fruit, with referenceto the shapeof the seed.

16r rErrpodouaqJ aqrrJ'uosllr\A C lnBd (88( 192 Nurtsia Vol. 4, No. 2 (1983) Dysphania sphaerosperma is sinilar in appearance to D. plantaginella; it differs in havilg rounded inflated tepals (not keeled), a very short thick pedicet, and subglobular seedswith a minutely granulate-papillosepericarp. Several herbarium collectionsconsist of plants with only female flowers.

The specific epithet is derived from the Greek words sp-haera,a sphere, and sperma,a seed,referring to the alrnost globular seeds.

Dysphania kalpari has been confused wilh D. rhadinostachya ftom which it may be distinguished by its decumbent habit with severalstems arising from the base,iti "rats-tail" erect glossy seeds, and its spikes. The habitat preferences of the two speciesare quite different, those of D. rhadinostachya being skeletal soils often on rocky slopeswhile D. kalpari is found on mulga (Acacia aneura) flats or sand plains.

Intergradation vith Dysphania rhadinostachya subsp. iaflafa appears to occur, at least with the variant of the latter found in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, and it is possible that the lectoparatype of Chenopodium inflatum from the Ashburton River area is a member of such an intergrade.

A note by F. T. Turvey with a collection made near Ernabella, South Australia, in "The 1968 (NSW 103747),states that natives gather the ripe seedsand make them into a meal, and at this time mix them in with the honey from honey-ants (also in season).This is relished as a food.". On a specimen from Warburton Mission (R. A. Gould, 3 April 1967,PERTH) it is recorded that the Aboriginal name is Kalpari and that it is an important seed-food plant of ngatatjara, pitjantjatjara and pintupi natives. A further specimqn (W. H. Moyle, 1 July 1958,PERTH) has with it a note to say that it is called Kalpari and that it is sought after by Aborigines in the Walter James Range to rnake flour. The specific epithet is taken from the Aboriginal name for the plant in central Australia. -snrc 'u,!\orq qsrppar rlr€p drBcopua,aso;nr pue pr€q alrq,,,.a"""o""- :rlil.ilo"t ,lJaJa -ruat,Jdrecrda :I)rql pue preq dte)uad :J?Incrluol aprlfn .aseq prour8rs pue al '8uol 'c 'alEururnc€ 1e palaa{ pouo{Jrql urur g'Z Fuolqo ^l^loJJBu sl"dal :snourFBIrlJB, J€ 'sapouruels qyuenad "SrfllrnJd' lnoqlr,,!\ el€ural olnJaurol8 Io sro^\ofl pta1e7 .i.mm o1 'seruFrls Suqg flalalduroc alnag .repuals 3uo1 IB.rluo^-rsJop oql olur dn sse

Heavy soils usually clay, frequently in situations that are seasonallywater- sm: logged. (wh Although this plant has been referred to by collectors as an annual it has a sub- flot taproot which may enable it to live through more than one season. frui stantial tep The genus Sclerohlitum was originally separated from Chenopodium largely be- sty) causeof the cartilaginous fruiting perianth; this in itself does not appear to be gen- per erically significant (especiallyas hardening of the tepals doesnot always take place), ".outl however,the pericarp is very different from that in other Australian members of the , rto family. This pericarp has previously been interpreted as the testa and its distinctive features overlooked: the developingseed fills the ovary at a very early stage causing the testa to be in intirnate contact with the ovary wall; this then presentsdifficulties in distinguishing the two structures. The ovary wall is discernible, shortiy after an- thesis, as being composedof three layers; in the fruit these layers form very distinct structures of the pericarp, an outer nembranous epicarp in which a pair of faint vas- cular strands pass up to the two style arms, a white crystalline mesocalp which be- comeshard and rugose,and a dark reddish brown crustaceousendocarp. The endo- carp is rugose on its outer surface (where in contact with the white mesocarp)and smooth on the inner surface where it fuses with the membranous testa. The whole structure is usually enclosedwithin the persistent cartilaginous perianth, however,in somecases (possibly due to continuing moist conditions) the tepals remain snall and glumaceous.

Bentham (18?0) described this species under three names, Chenopodium afuiplicinum, Amaranthus enervis and A. tenuis. The last two names were based on materiaL in which the fruiting perianth had not hardened. He also described the plant (C. atuiplicinum) as being slightly glandular-pubescent,a description repeated by Black (1924, 1948) and by Scott (1978a).It was evidently for this reason that Scott placed Chenopodium sect. Atriplicina in subgenusAmbrosia, along with the glandular speciesof the genus, instead of in subgenusChenopodium, in which are placed the species with a mealy indurnentum. In the latter subgenus, the sect. Atriplicina comesclosest to the sect. Thullingia in which the only species,C. antarc- ticum (J. D. Hook.) J. D. Hook. is very similar, it also being a prostrate sparsely mealy plant with a basal rosette of leaves,simple stems,glornerules of flowers with 2 Jo sorrads puelBaz ,!\aN pue uBrlBJlsnv asoql apnlcur oI etpeurg snua8 aql SurpqBd 6q -xo 'eraua5 aroJaroql rup I luaraJJrp aql q paceld sarcads pa1u1a.ruaa.rlaq aceld fla 'JeqlrnJ'puB o{el ol sreoddE uorlBzrpuq,{q lBr{1 sltnq olerJ€q dllErurou qI1it seraads -cJ 'lc( Jo dnor8 aql ul dola^ap s.{e^\Is }ou saop drBrrrad lualnrf,ns aq1 1eq1 1ce; eq1 dq pacuBqua sr.,{llnclJJrp ar{J'pau8rssE aq plnoqs lr snua8 qcrq,r o1 asruSoca.ro1 alqrssod AIE -urr uolJo sr lr lerral€ru SurlrnrJ-uou qll,rr l€rll qcns sr dlu€lrurrs aqJ dJ€Juad lual aq1 -nttns E {tBI qJrq.$ 1nq lrqEr{ JBlrrurs pup sralJBJBqJ IBJoU Jelrurs a^Bq }Bq} afnrpod let -ouaq) Jo saraads puEIBaZ ^{aN pue u€rl€r?snv asoq? qll.r dnot8 erpeurg or{1Jo drqs pol '(elpoaeq\ -uorlBlar asolJ ar{l puar{erdruoc lou prp aq ur paurBlar aq qcrq^\) suaurBls aq1 a rJ puB sra^\ou snorcoorp qll^\ asoql pue (erpeurg ur paceld aq qJrrl^\) raqunu uo uauIls pacnpoJ pue sJaaoU snoruBS,{lod rIl\^ e!poEeqg Jo sarcads asoql uaa^\laq urr) acuoraJJrp pa{IPIu aql pasru8ocar llocs q8noqlly dn ?r {ool (egl6l) HocS lr?un pald -de8rur ro parouSr ,{lluanbasqns se,!\ erpeurT atJtrBucuaua8 aqJ 'u.roJg {q paqucs -ap uoaq oslB pBq qcrql e?e$eq'u puB str8?nu u q]r^\ (raqurnu uaurBls uoruruos pu pu€) drqsuorlBlor asolc slr Jo aJBl\Bun se^\ pu€ erpaurg o1 sarcads auo srql parJaJsuerl 'aloJeJaql 'anbsourJBu UI IIuo uollduJsap crraue8 srq ur palpf,rpur s€ sarcads alo raqlo aql uI 9 aq ol lr paunsse aq flluapl^a'(Z ro I Suraq sp) raqrunu uaurBls aql ol '& 'l"lralelll pu parroJar BIIolrrI ur .{Iuo (0IBI) u.r\orfl ou uaas pBq ar{ acurs "rpot8qE Jo -oI 'o^rJ salcads uaaas aql Jo suolldlrJsap s.u.t\org lJaqoE uo,{lalos 8ul,{lal sB^{ aq srql uI -ac Jo pBalsur suarupls or\1. ro auo ^luo Jo aJuasaJd aql Jo srseq aql uo "rpo,8pgA. uro{ -aE BrpBurg snuaF aql pal€Sor8as 'uorlducsap srq ur'(.lrc'do gggl) anbsaurJBu lpul.8rro 1r! -ul 'puel€ez ,l!aN puB erlBJlsnv ol cruropua sartads xls snua8 Jo V sal 3u 'snordoJ puB 1e.r1uacur.radsr,rad lp8n;r.r1uac e^l 'IelnuuE alcrppr o,fJgura :snoacB?snrc B?aa? :ur8rBur papunor r{ll^\ rclncrlual ol aql 'lBluozuoq '(qrqlra\ 'aprEno asoqolS passardap paaslqluer.rad ^q padoloAua lou rale,{l '(a lqalnocns) drBtuad palBuur qlr,$.{rreq (pro^o flarpr) asoqolS passe.rdap ro drecrred -u( 'rapuals'Z dJp ul{l qlrd\ lnu e 1rn.r4'asoll[ded saur5r?s :Foqs .{ra^ ro luasqs al,{?s -a( 'luasqe 'slBdal :snorqEl8 ,ft" O rffp :asEq lB prour^lnd dllqFrts luerueyrg :snorqElF 'lBdal ol lBnba + Surpualqns aql q?l^\ slsaqluB ?a SulpBards ualJo'g-I suaur??S'lrn{ 'snoeJEqJaq '9 'sopoururEls -qr ur lualncJns sarurleruos (?) sledal) lnoqlrA\ olBlual sJa,lorr IBJa?BJ:lBnxasrq ralsnlf, Jo roL\oII leurwroJ xad? lB palJulsuoo (luasard uaq^\) sJaJlpad :palsa8uoJ uaxJo'salsluBd uodo Jo asourar?r SuruuoJ sJalsnlJ asour^o IIBurs -J€ 'llBrus 'srrBq ur anorcaouoruou.{5 sJarllold' JEInJrsaA lpJuaqds qlr.1d (^\olaq lsBal 18) '.4qseg '8uol Suno^ uaq,$ para^oc + .411q311spuB tBU rn) E-Z 1'alels"q dlpporq 01 rBa -url 'alelor?od 'alBurallE Jo alrsoddo sotea.I 'poaprJ'Japuals saqrupJg 'asEq aq? uro{ Surqcue.rq 'luapqBcs Jo alBJlsord ua1;o 'spruuarad fpoo,r\ fl{€aa Jo snoa)€qJaH

Desertorum (e.g. C. desertorum). From the former section the species of cor del Einadia diffet in being perennials (not annuals) and in having 1-3 (not b) stamens, hai while from the latter section they differ in absenceof disc (pubescentdisc in sect. Desertorum) and again reduced stamen number. fler er€ The speciesof Einadia differ from those of Rhagodia sensu stricto in being her- 0.3 baceous usually sprawling perennials with gynomonoecious flowers, a reduced cat "inflated", stamen number and no disc. The fruit, if succulent, is that is it has a flo fleshy outer and a watery inner layer; or drying it does not becomeviscous. The in- ov( dumentum is of spherical hairs (which may collapseto becomesaucer-or shallowly wil cup-shaped)and not of irregularly shaped hairs, nor does it collapseto form a scaly sheenas it doesin someRhagodra species. Dil It is not clear why Dalla Torre et Harms (1900op. cit.) mad,eEinadia a synonym of Suaeda;possibly they assumed,as did Ulbrich (1934 op. cit.), that Einadia Linifolia brc was a synonym of SuaedaLinifolia Pallas, which is not the case;the two speciesare altl very distinct asare t heir respectivegenera. apt rec to Key to species wor the ma 1.

Predominantly found on heavy soils. 1 The typical variant of this subspeciesis found in north east Queenslandand east- rit< ern New South Wales. In New South Wales it grades into subsp. nutans and to the occ west into subsp. eremaea.Some inland variants have rather thick leavesand com- cot pact inflorescences,possibly as a result of soil salinity, but this is not evident from gro the labeldara on lhe herbariumspecimens. ist sou I have not seen the type of Chenopodium australasicum,however, Moquin's de- scription coresponds to that of subsp. liniTolia and it was with this taxon that he later (1849)synonymized the name. 2. A variant of Einadia nutans with very narrow leavesis found in N.W. Victoria and (19 south central New South Wales but the material I have seenis too incomplete to de- Mc termine its precise affinities. I have included this variant within subsp. linifolia on Ha the basis of its leaf shape. Car Ne (1934) The synonymizing of E. linifolia under Suaeda linifolia Pallas by Ulbrich ur€ was presumably made on the assumption that they were nomenclatural synonyms. This is not the caseand I do not know whv Ulbrich cameto this conclusion. tn, ( 1d. subsp.eremaea Paul G.

I have not seen the type of Einadia triandra but the description of the leaves given by J. G. Forster agreeswith current conceptsand with the plant describedunder the narneRhagodia fnandra by Aellen (1939).

The transfer of Chenopodium triandrum to Rhagodia was intimated by F. Mueller 'The in 1886 and 1887 when he wrote Chenopodium triandrum of New Zealand is transferable to the genus Rhagodia', but I cannot find any publication in which he made the combination.

The name Chenopodium triandrum G. Forster was consideredby Murr (1910) to include C. microphyllum F. Muell., and his synonymy was acceptedby Maiden and Betche (1916).The two speciesare, in fact, quite distinct and differ, among other characters,in stamen number and fruit t1pe, although it is probable that Murr specimens of C. allanii (= Einadia allanii) in mind rather than C. tdandrum when suggestedthe slmonymy. Einadia triandra is very similar to somevariants of E, nutans and if it were not the fact that the one is endemic to New Zealand and the other to Australia subspecific status for E. nutans wouid probably be more suitable. The leavesof triandra have consistently an ovate shape obtuse at apex and truncate at br usually with short downwardly directed lobes (sagittate) whereas in E. nutans t leavestend to be triangular, acute at apex and hastate at base (i.e. with lobes). In E. nutans the seed is lenticular with rounded margin and the surface rugulose to deeply reticulate; in E. tuiandra the seed is depressed-spheroid(i.e. thicker than in -E nufans) and consistentlydeeply reticulate.

Prior to the paper by Aellen (1939) mateial of Einadia triandra had,usually been referred to Rhagodia nutans and.the name Chenopodium triandrum incorrectly ap- plied to the speciesdescribed by Aelien as C. allanii. The last speciesmay be dis- tinguished by its thin dry pericarp; it also differs from all related speciesfound in New Zealandby its entire, elliptic to orbicular leaves.

The recording by Sykes (L977) of E. tuiandra (as Rhagodia triandra) in the Kermadec Islands was based on severalcollections some of which are of a variant of E. trigonos,q.v. while others are of an undescribedspecies.

NEW ZEALAND: Coppermine Is., Mauraki Gulf,25 Oct 1968, M A and I' M' Ritciie (CHR): Littli Sister Is., 25 Oct. 1973, B. D. Bel/ (CHR); Curtis Island, Kermadec Group, W. E. "S-ykes923/K (CHR). Distribution. Southern Victoria and extreme eastern New South Wales to iust north of Walcha. New Zealand (an atypical variant). Map 26.

Habitat. Often near water but also in open country or forested areas.

The typical variant of this subspecies has thin, deltoid to broadly hastate leaves and broadly ovate tepals, it is found in the extreme south east of Victoria north to an area just north of Sydney. Farther north still the tepals become narrower and the plant gradesinto subsp. stellulata which has linear tepals.

The presence of Einadia trigonos subsp. trigonos in New Zealand is probably due to its relatively recent introduction. The earliest collection seen by me is dated 1926 although only the specimens in herb. CHR have been studied. In New Zealand it is variable in leaf form and whereas some of these variants are found in Australia others are distinct and approach in aspect, and in flowers and fruit, E. allanii, a speciesendemic to New Zealand, suggestingthat hybridization may be taking place. Sykes (19??) recorded Rhagodia triandra frorr' several islands in the Kermadec Is. group but the specimens I have seen from these islands which have been so anno- tated either belong to the New Zealand variant of E trigonos subsp. frtgonos or to an undescribed species. Sykes also recorded Einadia allanii (as Chenopodium allanii), based on the presence of its seed in the crop of a parakeet; since, however, the seed of E. allanii is virtually indistinguishable from that of -E trigonos lt seems likely that they came from plants of the latter species which on some islands was recorded as abundant.

'fhe New Zealand specimens of subsp. trtgonos have flowers with broad tepals which enlarge with the fruit and almost envelop it at maturity; many also have pur- plish stems and leaf margins, characters not observed (or not noted) on Australian specimens.

Until Paul Aellen's paper rn 1939 Einadia allanii lnad been confused with E' The triandra (wbrle plants o? the latter were generally referred to lhagodia rutans) two specieshave superficial resemblancesbut they differ in leaf-shapeand in fruit sinceihe pericarp oi E allanii is thin and dry while that of E. triandra is succulent. Einadia a-llaniiii evidently closely related to E. trigonos for they are similar in habit as well as in flower and fruit character. The two are separableon leaf-shape,that of E. allanii being broadly elliptic (with rounded apex) to orbicular while in E' trigonos it is bluntly hu"ttat". The siluation is complicated by the presencein New Zealand of the typicai subspeciesof E. ttigonos, of its subspeciesstellulata (both presumably introduced in the past 200 years), and of plants which are intermediate in character between the typical varianis of E. trigonos and.E. allanii.It seemslikely that these 'intermediate' iollections are of hybrid origin but this suggestionneeds to be sub- stantiated by field observationssince E. trigonos is extremely variable in Australia, as regards leaf form. This makes its recognition (and of putative hybrids) in New Zealanduncertain.

Einadia allanii exhibits considerablevariability in leaf shape and texture, and in inflorescencecharacter. I have adopted a rather broad concept of the speciessince J "- ,""Ui" to find any clear charactersby which the complex could be subdivided. One variant does stand out and would appear to warrant recognition as a distinct species,this is a plant found on Little Barrier Island that has an open paniculate in- fiorescencethe bianches of which are destitute of bracts. A plant very similar in form is also found on the Kermadec Islands. Until further work is done on possible rela- tives in other islands of the Pacific or in south America it would seembest not to de- scribe it as a distinct taxon. The following specimensfrom New Zealand represent this variant.

I{abitai. Appears to favour heavy loamy soils.

Einadia polygonoides may be readily recognised by its narrow leaves, slender infructescenceand free coriaceoustepals with circular limbs. The indumentum of this speciesis unusual for Einadia sincesome of the small multicellular hairs are ter- minated by a minute sphericalcell which appearsto be filled with resin. The type of Chenopodium triangulare var. polygonoideswas stated by Murr (1904 l.c.)to havebeen collected by 'Betke' (a misspellingof'Betche'). However, a note on a probable isotype in herb. NSW states that the collector was J. H. Camfield. Murr (1910) cites the Camfield collection and states that Betche collected it at the same place and date. Whether there were one or two collections is not clear but it seems certain that they are of the samepopulation.

The subspeciesargenteahas a distinctive leaf shape and a thick silvery sheen' It is clearly distinct in it; distribution from the tSryicalsubspecies and could be separated (on morphological characters)at the speciesrank.

Near Maralinga and at Ifould Lake subsp. argenteahas an acutely hastate leaf; at Ooldea has been collected a plant (Spooner2185, AD) which is similar but has an el- lintic leaf: also at Ooldea has been collected a plant (J. B. Cleland, 17 Aug. 1939'AD) with leavessimilar to the Spoonerspecimen but with flowers and indumentum more like those of Chenopodium desertorum. Until extensive field investigations take place no satisfactoryinterpretation of this data is possible.

On the Nullarbor Plain 12 km NW of Cocklebiddy Rhagodia crassrfoliamay be found growing with a plant intermediate in morphology between that speciesand .R. candol-leanasubsp. argenfea. This putative hvbrid (P. G. Wilson, 11829' PERTH) suggeststhat R. candolleanasubsp . argenteais also found in that district' of the Lectotypification"Iihagodia of the name Rhagodiacandolleana. The correct application name baccata, and the reasonsfor rejecting it for the speciesoccurring in eastern A"ustralia, are discussed under that name. The lectotypification of -the also requires an explanation since it was based on alternative narne,R, candolleana, "In mixed material. Moquin (1840) cited the type of R. candolleanaas nova Hol- landia (v.s.in herb. Mus. Paris.DC., et Vindob.)". In 1849,under R. baccatavar' "v.s. candolleana(Moq.) Moq., he wrote in h. Labil. et Mus. Paris." I have seenlbur sheetswhich appear to be syntypesof this species,their labels are as follows:

Sheets A and D contain only specimens of the eastern Australian plant here referred to Rhagodia candolleana.sheets B and c each contain a small vegetative specimenof R. iandolleana and a larger specimenof Tetragonia r'mp'lexicoma(Miq') J. O. ttook. (Aizoaceae).I have selected sheet A in herb. P (Figure 1) as the lectotype since it bears Moquin's handwritten determination and is of unmixed ma- terial. it is certainly one ofthe specimensstudied by Moquin when describing the soecies.The sheet B in herb. P has, as noted above,a Drummond label no' 209' This is misplacedsince James Drummond could not have collectedeither of the two speci- mens on the sheet; the Drummond no. 209 collection in herb' MEL is of Rhagodia baccafasensu stricto (i.e. the Western Australian plant) from which the Drumrnond Iabel in herb. P had evidently strayed.

Rhagodia candolleanasubsp. cando.lleanavaries considerably in leaf form, texture and sc"ulpturingof the seed(fiintly rugosein Tasmania to faintly retijulate in Soy.t-h Australia): it ilso varies in stature, being a shrub to 5 m high in Tasmania while rarely exceeding 1m on the Australian mainland. However, there are insufficient supporting characters with which to establish further infraspecific taxa' In South Ausiratia lt is often not possible to clearly distinguish R. candolleana from the coastalvariant of R. crassifolia,however, since elsewherethese two speciesappear to be clearly separableI have continued to recognisethem.

Although predominantly coastal in its distribution subsp. candolleana has been collected-at Mt Gambier in South Australia. J. M. Black (1948) recorded it inland along the R. Murray but the relevant specimensare all of the inland variant of R' "ru"iifotiu. Black also recorded Rhagodia baccata var. fineafl's for South Australia, however,material so determined in his herbarium is either Suaedaaustralis (R'Br') Moq. or R. crassifolia.

Rhagodia candolleana is nearly always dioecious but populations of apparently herrnalphroditeplants do occur. Male plants sometimes have prominent_pistillodes and thlse frequently enlargeto form berry-like structures which are probably galls'

The peculiar indumentum of Rhagodia candolleana(and of R. crassrfofta)is made up of eitremely thin-walled mealy hairs of irregular shape-These soon collapse and fuse together to form a metallic sheen similar to that found in some species of Atriplex.

The name Chenopodium congestumJ. D. Hook. is based on a specimenof C' mu- ruleL., q.v. However, as a variety of Rhagodia billardieri or of R. baccatait has been misapplGd by Bentharn (18?0) and Scott (19?8a) to variants of R. candolleana in whicir the leavestend to be rhombic or hastate and the inflorescencesomewhat con- gested.

The type of Chenopodium furfuraceum is a male specimen of Rhagodia candolleiia.It was not ieen by Bentham (18?0)who thought it might be conspecific wilh C. au comum.

Generally rocky situations often over limestone,but has been recordedfrom clay flats. This specieshas been confused in herbaria with both R. spinescensand CJ:eno- podium nitrariaceum. It was included by Bentham (1870) under the former name (i.e. the specimenscited as 'Murray river, F. Mueller', 'Gawler Ranges,Sullivan', and 'Banier Range,Victorian Expedition'), however,his description of -R.spr'aescens was basednot only on that speciesand R. ulicina but also on Chenopodium desertorum. Gandoger (1919loc. cit.) recognisedR. ulicina as being a distinct speciesbut his de- scription was very brief and suggestedthat he was unaware that the plant was di- oecious,shrubby, and had baccatefruits, for these charactersestablish the speciesas a member of the genus Rhagodia and not C.henopodium.Scott (1978b) included -R. ulicina (as Chenopodium\ with C. nitra aceum rnd.er Chenopodium sect. Rhagodioides Benth.; however, Scott's sectional description is inapplicable to E. uJ.icr-naand the two speciesare not closelyrelated. Rhagodia ulicina may be distinguished from R. spinescers and C. nitrariaceum by its intricately branched habit and usually by its small fleshy leaves.Some specimens of C. nitrariaceum resembleR. ulicina in leaf shape but differ in indumentum: that of C. nitrariaceum is scurfy and forms a silvery sheen with age, while the vesicular hairs of R. ulicina are irregularly lobed and remain distinct. Rhagodia ulicina is most similar to R. acicularis (an endemic of the Wongan Hills, Western Australia); the differencesbetween them are give under the latter species. sapourruels reaurl lueururo.rd qlr,!\ alrrols .{ "nsn sJaaoll Ieqrwral :sJaaol} olewal 'sBur8rls alBlnqns lrara loqs Jo rrEd E qll^1 (qFIq lulu g'0 t) alnuru apollr?s]d:asBq 'csrp le asold l?rl^\auros podBr{s-Jatn€s B olur pa}run s?uaupfl :sG^roIJ aIeW'Tnq ur d11q311s3ur8re1ua (ele ogo 'dsqns ur dleaur.{lasrBdsJo) alelll)a puB snorqel5'r"l -ncrqJo lsolule slada? :urErp uIIu I t'lEcuaqds sJaaold- salnroruol8 ltunfslp uI sJa^\ou 'Japuols '8uol 'Funo^ soqruBrq urc A c olcruBd pprrue.r.{d e nuaJsaro[Jul ueqAl flpaur .4lalnurur pIIB flasleds aceJrns ra.!\ol 'alncp ol papunor xade 'alor1ad .rapuals e '3uo1 'alBlnqtBds olur asBq ar{l lp 8uuad4 dllenpe.r8 urJ t-g ro olB^oqo dlp€orq ol ree -url'@ry^oqo dsqns) snoaJ"uor ol '(qsalJ ueq.tr dqsag ,{11q8gs)snoacel.rgq) saaea.I ',{paru 'rapuals 'qglq .{les.reds pup alelsoc Sunod uaq,rl saqruBr8' ur A ol gnrgs 'sslsrd I ['(9t8I)tgg,I Id uqarl ul saaN :'rg U uou lrne s!to!!u!l El '(d 'alBuo :oloq) 1a8I '(0t8I)0I 'ulnug 'uaqC ' '[ -rprrour ato|puElloH ^noN ;ad4l uotrJ botr\I ele^o1o '('ISI 'y I :osr)zgal 'erlBrlsny ssrard uralsalA'{ro^ rBaN:ad,fJ (?06I)I8I:S8 qrqef log'slat0 ('bow) 'pord ''C0 'g rrcsrcrdwn!podouaqJ-'(6t8I) 6V:Z/E| urbotr tr rssrard erpoEBrIU

The application of the namesRhagodia dioica and R. obovata is difficult to deter- mine due to intergradation of the typical variants of these specieswith R. baccata and R. prerssii The type of R. obovata comes from Dirk Hartog Island where the plant has leathery, broadly obovate leaves and glabrous flowers. On the mainland around Shark Bay the leavesare somewhatnarrower and the flowers slightly mealy, while further south the mealinessincreases and the leaf shape varies from obovate (near Geraldton) to elliptic (near Perth). Near Perth the flowers and leaves are densely mealy, and here the plant intergrades with R. baccata; this variant of intermediate aspect has been described as the speciesR. dioica. In addition to this apparent intergradation, R. obovata also passes,to the north and east of Shark Bay, into typical R. prerssri with thin narrow leavesand glabrous flowers. I have, in this paper, recognisedR. baccataas a distinct speciesbecause of its normally clearly dis- tinguishable morphological characters while R. obovata I am including as a ',nutt) 'tt, do ''ulqaT uI saa5l alarpa.r arpoFagg' el?crBq dsqns Eg

This subspecies (under various names) has frequently been considered to be conspecific with Rhagodia candolleana.It may be readily distinguished by its thin, narrow leaveswith recurved margins and by the absenceof staminodesin the female flowers (when lateral in position). A further distinction lies in the indumentum of the leaves which consists of collapsed vesicular hairs circular in outline. In R. candolleanathe hairs are irregular in shape, very thin walled, and when collapsed fuse to form a silvery sheen.The speciesare both found in the RechercheArchipel- ago where they retain their distinctive characters; their distribution is otherwise quite distinct. Almost glabrous plants of R. baccata subsp. baccafa are found at some localities but this variant gradesinto the typical one with a mealy indumentum and there is no reasonto segregateit as a distinct taxon.

Lectotypification of Chenopodium baccatum. Labillardidre (1805 loc. cit.) gave as the provenanceof Chenopodium baccatum'Habitat in capite Van-Diemen', i.e. from the south coast of Tasmania. Material collected by Labillardibre in herb. FI, and so determined by him, is mounted on four sheets;these contain some specimenswhich correspondto the Tasmanian plant and others which could only have been collected on the south-west coast of Western Australia. The plants from the two areas I con- sider to be specifically distinct (they have been generally considered by earlier workers to be distinct at either the level of speciesor variety); therefore it is import- ant that C. baccatumbe lectotypified.

Three of the four sheetsmentioned above were re-identified by Moquin, presum- ably prior to 1849 when he cited the specimens in his treatrnent of the Chenopodiaceaein De Candolle's Prodromus vol lS/2. The sheet containing the largest number of specimens was determined by Moquin as R. baccata, a second sheet as R. baccata var. cando eana, and a third as R. baccata var. angustifolia. Moquin had therefore selectedone of the four sheets as being representativeof the typical variety.

Labillardilre refers to the leaves as being 'lanceolatis' and the inflorescenceas 'racemis compositis'; the fruit was also described.The specimenswhich match the Western Australian species have narrowly elliptic leaves and bear large inflor- escences;they correspondwell with Labillardidre's description and are a good match sa^Eol Ja{Jrql ser{ lI punoJ aq.{Eur €x€l o,$1 ar{l uaa^\laq rrrJoJur alerpauJalur slueld puB sorcadsqns IBcrd.{l aql q1r,t a8uer Er Jo lJBd JaAo culBdurds sr sarcadsqns srqJ .vtsBo] .1e1!qeH

RhasodiadrummondrJ is similar to fl. spinescensbut differs most obviously in the leaf sh-ape(always elliptic) and in the absenceof staminodes in the lateral female flowers. It was consideredby Bentham (18?0) and by Scott (1978b)to be a form of R. crassifolia,however, the two are not closely related; they differ very greatly in in- dumentum (the hairs of R. crassifoliacollapsing to form a continuousmetallic sheen) and in flower morphology, particularly in the presenceof prominent staminodesin the female flowers of R. crassifolia.

Chippendale(NT 3528). Recorded as having a nauseous,fishy odour attractive to flies. Speck states that the creepingstems root at frequent intervals.

The intergradation between the variants listed and those more typicat of R. sprnescensis such as to make any formal classificationdifficult to apply.

Although Rhagodia spinescensas I delineate it is a very variable species,it is not so variable as has been consideredby sone authors. A. J. Scott (1978a),for instance, perceivedit more broadly, including under this name specimenswhich I recogniseas R. drummondii (Wilson 6088b),R. ulrcrra (Symon 4659),R. eremaea(Latz 114),and Chenopodium desertorum (Cunningham 384). The name R- prosttata Moq. was also cited by him as a synonym of R. sprnescenswhereas it is a synonym of C. des- ertorum.

Rhagodia sprrescensis evidently most closely related to R. drummondii and R. eremaea.Apart from differences in leaf shape the latter two speciesmay be dis- tinguished by the absenceof disc or staminodes in the female flowers, the inflor- escenceshape and, in R. eremaea,by the minute irregularly shapedvesicular hairs.

Habitat. Recorded from rocky hillsides with skeletal soil, along creek banks and on sandbanks.

This speciesappears to occupy four disjunct areasin Australia but the plants from eacharea are sufficiently alike not to warrant infraspecific recognition.

In the Northern Territory occasionalplants are hermaphrodite and some have ver- tical (not horizontal) seeds,but it is not possible to establish from herbarium ma- terial how common these variants are.
