(Stem one to two feet high, angular and striate, branched. Leaves peti- 
olate, chiefly glauco-pulverulent beneath. Flowers clustered in small, 
dense, lateral, and terminal spikes. Grev. Several varieties have been 
recorded, with leaves more or less toothed, elongated or obtuse, as 
A. serrata of Hudson, &c. Smith observes, that what gives a spiral ap¬ 
pearance to the seed of this and other species of Atriplex, is the con¬ 
voluted form of the embryo , surrounding the cotyledons, which are them¬ 
selves flat and straight. E.)
