Chenopodium suecicum is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Amaranthaceae.[1] 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).[2] Consequently, it is a potentially valuable genetic resource for improving the pseudocereal crop quinoa.

Synonyms:

  • Chenopodium album f. pseudopulifolium Scholz[1]
  • Chenopodium pseudopulifolium (Scholz) Murr[1]
