Chenopodium strictum Roth, Nov. Sp. Pl.: 180 (1821)

Type.

n.v. (not present in HAL and other herbaria).

This name was previously widely used for the plants growing in Europe, Siberia, Iran and Central Asia (e.g. Iljin 1936, Kinzikaeva 1968, Lomonosova 1992, Uotila 1997). Sukhorukov (2014) discovered that the plants growing in North Himalaya and in Europe differ in their morphological characters and C. betaceum Andrz. may be the correct name for the European plants. Furthermore, C. strictum material from Himalaya, from where the species was described, is scarce (Jammu and Kashmir, India). Further investigations are needed to discover which plants belong under this name.
