  • Chapter
Medicinal and Aromatic Plants X

Part of the book series: Biotechnology in Agriculture and Forestry ((AGRICULTURE,volume 41))

Abstract

The name Chenopodium is derived from the Greek words chenos (goose) and podos (foot), because the leaves often resemble goose feet. This genus consists of ca. 120 species, widely distributed over the world, 45 of which have been described in India.
