414 STANDLEY: CHENOPODIACEAE 
Jones 6o50f. New Mexico: Mangas Springs, 1903, Metcalfe; 
Farmington, Standley 7101. CHIHUAHUA: near White Water, 
Mearns 2286 (type). 
CHENOPODIUM HIANS Standley, N. Amer. Fl. 21: 16. 1916 
Of the group of C. leptophyllum, but distinguished from all the 
related species by its ill-scented foliage. This character, which 
has been ignored heretofore, seems to be a very good one. The 
European C. Vulvaria L. has always been noted for its diagreeable 
odor, and several American species possess the same character. 
Their odor is quite different from that of C. ambrosioides L. and 
its allies. The type of C. hians was collected near Dulce, New 
Mexico (Standley 8129) and the species has been obtained by the 
writer at Ensenada (No. 10764) and Ute Park in the same state. 
A specimen from Bear Creek, near Eagle Peak, Wyoming, col- 
lected by Schuchert, is also referable here. The species is dis- 
tinguished, also, by the erect calyx, which does not embrace the 
fruit closely as in related species. 
CHENOPODIUM CYCLOIDEs A. Nels. Bot. Gaz. 34: 363. 1902 
The original collection, from Grant County, Kansas, is too 
immature to show the true characters of this species and might at 
first glance be referred to C. leptophyllum Nutt. The only other 
locality known for the plant is on sandhills in Dona Ana County, 
New Mexico, where it is abundant, according to Mr. E. O. Wooton, 
who has obtained excellent and ample specimens at two different 
times. The species is distinguished from all those of the C. lepto- 
phyllum group by its calyx, almost rotate at maturity and with 
ecarinate lobes, and by its bright red pericarp. Indeed, the 
general appearance of the mature plant does not at first remind one 
of the genus Chenopodium. 
CHENOPODIUM NEVADENSE Standley, N. Amer. Fl. 21: 16. 1916 
A relative of C. atrovirens Rydb., but distinguished by having - 
the seed adherent to the pericarp, and by the small leaves and ~ 
seeds. The type is from Winnemucca Lake, Nevada (Kennedy 
903). Shockley’s No. 542 from Candelaria also belongs here, 
-besides one or two other Nevada —- examined.
