Atripliceae

Atripliceae are a tribe of the subfamily Chenopodioideae belonging to the plant family Amaranthaceae. Atriplex is the largest genus of the family. Species of Atripiceae are ecologically important in steppe and semi-desert climates.[2]

Distribution

Most of the species are distributed in Africa, Australia, and North America, with some others spread out worldwide.[3]

Taxonomy

Traditional taxonomy of Atripliceae based on morphological features has been controversial.[2][3] Molecular studies have found that many genera are not true clades. One such study found that Atripliceae could be divided into two main clades, Archiatriplex, with a few, scattered species, and the larger Atriplex clade, which is highly diverse and found around the world.[3]

gollark: Well, it's obvious, the file named fisible is unknown and something something unk random number equals other random number.
gollark: Also, laws are often about complicated issues which people have no idea about. Now, frequently the politicians will have no idea about them too, but in general having dedicated people able to take lots of time to learn about the issue is better than random people with lots of other stuff to do. Although it has other downsides.
gollark: I don't think I agree, having direct input would expose it to the whims of whatever random controversy has happened *more*.
gollark: And "oh bees [BAD THING] happened so now we must immediately respond to it in some stupid way".
gollark: If you make law really easy to add to, you'll run into problems like "oh bees there are several million pages of law nobody has read".
