Corispermum

    0.01 sec.
Corispermum 

a genus of plants of the Chenopodiaceae family. They are annual, mostly short, ramose grasses with linear leaves, small unattractive axillary flowers, and flat, often alate, fruits. There are about 60 species which grow wild in Eurasia; there are only a few species in North America. In the USSR about 30 species grow along the sands and banks of rivers and, more rarely, along the shores of lakes and seas in the European USSR (chiefly in the south and southeast), the Caucasus, Siberia, Middle Asia, and the Far East. Some species of Corispermum are good fodder for camels, sheep, and goats. C. declinatum grows as a weed in the Trans-Volga Region and Siberia.
