Chenopodium album is a fast-growing weedy annual plant in the genus "Chenopodium". Though cultivated in some regions, the plant is elsewhere considered a weed. Common names include lamb's quarters, melde, goosefoot, wild spinach and fat-hen, though the latter two are also applied to other species of the genus "Chenopodium", for which reason it is often distinguished as white goosefoot. "Chenopodium album" is extensively cultivated and consumed in Northern India as a food crop known as "bathua".
