#### Tribe Camphorosmeae
##### Bassia

* Bassia scopariaThe genus Bassia here includes Kochia scoparia. The Kochia genus was merged into Bassia by A. J. Scott in 1978. Although that merger was not widely accepted as a whole, Kochia scoparia subsp. scoparia has been shown to be embedded within a clade with Bassia hyssopifolia, making the Bassia scoparia name more appropriate for that particular taxon. The same study showed Bassia hirsuta to be in a separate clade, and the new monotypic genus Spirobassia was coined to contain that species.

#### Tribe Chenopodieae

* Fuentes-Bazan et al. (2012) moved a number of species out of Chenopodium to make it monophyletic, calling one of the new segregate genera Chenopodiastrum. The genera that were phylogenically between the Chenopodium and Chenopodiastrum clades were already in the tribe Atripliceae, so they placed Chenopodium and the new Chenopodiastrum in Atripliceae, even though the original Atripliceae would then be surrounded by and outnumbered by the former members of the Chenopodieae. But ARS-GRIN, though recognizing the new Chenopodiastrum, places all of these genera in Chenopodieae and calls Atripliceae a synonym. That's the convention used here for this tribe.

## Family Portulacaceae

* The Portulacaceae (purslane family) contains only the genus Portulaca.
* ↑ Portulacaceae Troy Weldy & David Werier (2013) New York Flora Atlas. New York Flora Association, Albany, New York.

### Portulaca

* Portulaca oleracea common purslaneThe genus Portulaca contains about 150 species worldwide, about ten of which are found in North America.
* The origin of Portulaca oleracea is uncertain, but purslane seeds and the pollen of both purslane and corn were discovered in sediments at the bottom of meromitic Crawford Lake, a few miles west of Lake Ontario, indicating that both plants were present there prior to European settlement. It is thought that pre-Columbian people pulled the purslane from their corn fields and then washed it in the lake prior to cooking it. Globally, P. oleracea is widely-naturalized and treated as a noxious weed in many locations.
* Although Portulaca grandiflora is said to escape cultivation in North America, the New York Flora Atlas lists it as not naturalized.
