og. : 
Ill-scented annual, much branched from the base, the branches stout, ascending, 1.5 dm. 
long, obtusely angled, striate, densely and rather coarsely farinose; petioles stout, about half 
as long as the blades; leaf-blades triangular or triangular-rhombic in outline, 3-5 mm. long, 
3-4 mm. broad, 3-lobed, the lobes obtuse or the terminal one acute, entire or nearly so, rounded 
at the base, thick, densely farinose on both surfaces, the upper blades rhombic-ovate or oblong, 
entire, acute; flowers in small glomerules, these mostly in axillary spikes equaling or shorter 
than the leaves; calyx densely farinose, deeply cleft, the lobes broadly oblong, obtuse, obtusely 
carinate, enclosing the fruit; stamens exserted; pericarp adherent; seed horizontal, 1 mm. 
broad, the margin obtuse. 
Type collected in the region of San Luis Potos{, Mexico, in 1878, C. C. Parry & E. Palmer 780

IX. Alba. Plants usually tall, sometimes ill-scented, bright-green and glabrate or densely 
farinose with whitish inflated hairs. Leaves long-petiolate, the blades lanceolate to broadly 
rhombic, all or only the lower ones sinuate-dentate. Glomerules of flowers spicate or cymose. 
Calyx-lobes carinate. Pericarp adherent. Seed horizontal.

Erect annual, 1-3 meters high, much branched, the branches stout, ascending or erect 
from a spreading base, sharply angled, bright-green striped with red, sparsely and finely fari- 
nose; petioles slender, equaling or shorter than the blades; leaf-blades broadly rhombic, 6-14 
em. long and the lower ones fully as broad, obtuse or rounded at the apex, not apiculate, 
broadly cuneate to subtruncate at the base, usually shallowly 3-lobed, rather finely and irregu- 
larly sinuate-dentate, often doubly dentate with obtuse or acutish teeth, rather thick, bright 
deep-green on the upper surface, finely farinose beneath when young but soon glabrate, the 
upper blades smaller, rhombic-ovate to oblong or elliptic, usually dentate, rarely entire, bright- 
red, at least when young; flowers in small glomerules in dense, stout, broadly paniculate spikes; 
calyx copiously farinose, usually reddish, the lobes slightly carinate.

Erect or ascending annual, 3-10 dm. high, much branched, the branches slender or stout, 
ascending from a widely spreading base, the lower usually elongate, obtusely angled, dark- 
green, sparsely farinose or glabrate; petioles slender, equaling or often exceeding the blades; 
leaf-blades very broadly ovate-rhombic, 2-4 cm. long and usually as broad, rounded at the 
apex or obtuse, broadiy cuneate to subtruncate at the base, often shallowly 3-lobed, coarsely 
and shallowly sinuate or sinuate-dentate with obtuse or rarely acutish teeth, thin, bluish-green, 
glabrate on the upper surface, sparsely and very finely farinose beneath, the upper blades 
smaller, rhombic-ovate, often entire; flowers in rather small glomerules, these in usually stout, 
dense, paniculate spikes, the inflorescence commonly narrow and copiously leafy; calyx densely 
farinose, the lobes rounded-ovate, carinate, completely enclosing the fruit; pericarp adherent; 
seed horizontal, 1 mm. broad, nearly smooth, black and shining, the margin rounded. |
