Chenopodium berlandieri Moq. var. zschackei (Murr) Murr ex Graebn.[FNA4, HC2]
pitseed goosefoot

Publication: Syn. Mitteleur. Fl. 5(1): 81. 1913.

Origin: Native

Herbarium search: CPNWH

Notes: Very similar in appearance to C. album, but distinguished from that species by having more open inflorescence, honeycomb-pitted pericarp, and strongly carinate (keeled) sepals in fruit. Need mature fruits to distinguish between the two taxa.
