Excerpt from Characteristics and Hybridization of Important Intermountain Shrubs, Vol. 2: Chenopod Family Shrubby chenopods from different localities and sometimes from the same site vary considerably in palatability, growth rate, forage production, and other characteristics that make them important sources of browse and cover. Some should have an important place in stabilization of disturbed areas on alkaline ranges. Natural hybridization has been observed between species of the same genus and even between different genera.
