Chenopodium suecicum
Chenopodium suecicum is a temperate annual weed-type goosefoot in the amaranth and beet family, closely related to fat hen and quinoa. It is not normally grown as a garden or houseplant, and the sources give no cultivation advice.
Chenopodium suecicum is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Amaranthaceae. It belongs to the group of B-genome diploids (2n = 18) and likely participated in the formation of the Eurasian hexaploid C. album complex (genome BBCCDD) as well as the New World C. berlandieri complex (genome AABB). Consequently, it is a potentially valuable genetic resource for improving the pseudocereal crop quinoa.
