Since 1923, at least, it has been the most common plant on Meeker. 
Christophersen and Caum l-ist it as being "abundant on the sloping sides, 
but rare on the flat top." In August 1968 and on other recent visits 
Chenopodium formed an almost pure stand in the saddle between Flagpole 
and Summit Hills (Figured \ ); it was abundant on the portion east of 
this region (Figure i ) but somewhat less common on the tops of the hills 
than on the sloping sides and the saddle between them. It occurred in 
small amounts on the top of Flagpole Hill and was rare on both Annexation 
Hill and Northwest Cape.
