Abstract

Contrary to taxonomic descriptions, female flowers of Suckleya suckleyana have four perianth segments rather than two bracts. Consequently, Suckleya suckleyana belongs in the tribe Chenopodieae, family Chenopodiaceae, instead of tribe Atripliceae. Since it is the only member of tribe Chenopodieae with unisexual flowers and superior radicles, it is proposed that it be assigned to a new subtribe, Suckleyinae.
