Dysphania tibetica (A. J. Li) Uotila

Annual up to 25 cm, branched from the base with prostrate or ascending stems. Leaves petiolate, up to 4.0 cm, entire to slightly lobate, scarcely pubescent with curved simple hairs. Inflorescence axillary, leafy and short; its branches flattened and slightly winged, usually shortly bifurcate at the top, relatively densely pubescent with semi-appressed or curved simple hairs up to 0.6 mm long, sometimes with scattered glands. Perianth segments 0.7–0.8 × 0.6 mm; their dorsal part with dense indumentum of soft simple hairs (up to 0.3 mm long) and scattered glandular hairs (Fig. 25). Fruits dimorphic: 1.0–1.1 × 0.9 mm, subspherical, pericarp with conical papillae (Fig. 26A, B) and slightly flattened, 0.8–1.0 × 0.7 mm, broadly ovoid, pericarp with crater-like papillae (Fig. 26C, D). Seeds dimorphic: red, slightly keeled, and brownish, not keeled; seed embryo horizontal.
