Chenopodium incanum var. occidentale is a perennial herb that is native to California.
[Wikipedia] Etymology: The genus Chenopodium was described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 (In: Species Plantarum, Vol. 1, p. 218-222). Type species is Chenopodium album. This generic name is derived from the particular shape of the leaf, which is similar to a goose's foot: from Greek chen, "goose" and pous, "foot" or podion, "little foot".
