Abstract
A general review, incorporating many new observations, of the American grain chenopods is given. The species areCh. quinoa (Quinoa),Ch. nuttalliae (Huauzontle) andCh. pallidicaule (Canahua); the first two are related tetraploids (2n = 36), and the third is a quite distinct diploid. Huauzontle is Mexican, and the other two are Andean plants. Brief surveys of systematics, biology, cultivation and utilization of the three species are given. Quinoa is the principal native grain of the high central Andes and is still of considerable local importance.
