Chenopodium
Sign in to saveAlso known as goosefoots
Chenopodium is a genus of numerous species of perennial or annual herbaceous flowering plants known as the goosefoot, which occur almost anywhere in the world. It is placed in the family Amaranthaceae in the APG II system; older classification systems, notably the widely used Cronquist system, separate it and its relatives as Chenopodiaceae, but this leaves the rest of the Amaranthaceae polyphyletic. However, among the Amaranthaceae, the genus Chenopodium is the namesake member of the subfamily Chenopodioideae.
Chenopodium is a genus of flowering plants commonly called goosefoot, found nearly everywhere around the world as either annual or perennial herbs. The genus is scientifically important because it gives its name to a major subfamily within the Amaranthaceae family, and its classification has helped scientists better understand the relationships between plant groups.
