Chenopodium preissii is a plant in the Amaranthaceae family, native to Western Australia and South Australia.[1]
It was first described by Alfred Moquin-Tandon in 1849 as Rhagodia preissii,[2][3] and this is the name accepted by the Council of Heads of Australasian Herbaria.[4] However, in 1904 Ludwig Diels transferred it to the genus, Chenopodium,[2][5] and Chenopodium preissii is the name accepted by Plants of the World online.[1]
