Key to Chenopodiaceae

A family of about 100 genera and about 1500 species, herbs and shrubs, cosmopolitan, but especially in xeric and/or saline areas. Sometimes recently included in the Amaranthaceae, but each traditional family is monophyletic and there seems no reason to combine them.

Subfamily Betoideae: Beta
Subfamily Chenopodioideae: Atriplex, Blitum, Chenopodiastrum, Chenopodium, Cycloloma, Dysphania, Oxybasis, Spinacia
Subfamily Suaedoideae: Suaeda
Subfamily Salicornioideae: Salicornia, Sarcocornia
Subfamily Camphorosmoideae: Bassia, Spirobassia
Subfamily Salsoloideae: Kali
