|discussion=<p><i>Chenopodium foliosum</i> is probably native to the mountains of south and central Europe and western Asia. Several closely related segregate species are currently recognized within the <i>C. foliosum</i> group (P. Uotila 1979, 1993, 1997).</p><!--
--><p><i>Chenopodium foliosum</i> listed and illustrated in J. C. Hickman (1993) is in fact <i>C. capitatum </i>var.<i> parvicapitatum</i>.</p>
