Blitum chenopodioides
Linnaeus
,
Mantissa Plantarum Altera
: 170. 1771
.
"Habitat in Tataria; nunc in Svecia. H.V." RCN: 36.
Neotype
(Uotila in
Ann. Bot. Fenn.
38: 96. 2001): Russia. Republic of Dagestan, In fonds Kislar, [early 1800s],
C. Steven
(H-1037202).
Current name:
Chenopodium chenopodioides
(L.) Aellen
(
Chenopodiaceae
).
Note:
See extensive discussion by Uotila, who rejects 14.3 and 14.4 (LINN) as original material on the grounds that they conflict with the protologue, and designates a
neotype
. This removes the possibility that the name might be a synonym of
Chenopodium rubrum
L.
, which had led some authors to informally reject
B. chenopodioides
.
