Nomenclature : Fuentes-Bazan et al. (2012b) attributed the name Chenopodium subgen. Pseudoblitum to Grenier and Godron. Flowever, when describing their subgenus (as Pseudo-Blitum ), Grenier and Godron (1. c.) included in it two species, Chenopodium rubrum and C. bonus-henricus L. The last one is the type of Orthosporum C.A Mey. subgen. Agathophytum T. Nees (Gen. PI. FI. Germ., t. 57. 1835.) based on the illegitimate generic name Agathophytum Moq. (Ann. Sci. Nat., Bot. ser. 2, 1: 291.1834), often erroneously cited as " Agathophyton ", a synonym of Anserina Dumort. (FI. Belg: 21. 1827), which makes the name proposed by Grenier and Godron illegitimate because of the availability of an earlier subgeneric name
