  1. Chenopodium triandrum?

  2. Same location in Titahi Bay as the previous two pictures

  3. Yes I have seen some of these around the Petone and Eastbourne beaches while I have been doing beach weed control for the Hutt City Council.You're almost standing on it before you notice it.

  4. Should of mentioned im very sure that's what it is,used to be Einadia

  5. Yes Chenopodium triandrum which you can recognise easily by the trowel-shaped leaves lacking any addition lobing. When in fruit this species has succulent red fruit - our other species in what had been Einadia have scarcely succulent or even dry fruits.

    Einadia was placed into Synonym within Chenopodium by Fuentes-Bazan et al. (2012)

    See: Fuentes-Bazan, S.; Uotila, P.; Borsch, T. 2012: A novel phylogeny-based generic classification for Chenopodium sensu lato, and a tribal rearrangement of Chenopodioideae (Chenopodiaceae). Willdenowia 42: 5-24.

    That paper and papers cited therein also split up what we have called Chenopodium here into a number of genera, e.g., Dysphania, Oxybasis, Blitum etc.
