Dysphania geoffreyi Sukhor.

Annual, 5–50 cm tall, stem erect, often scarcely branched and then only in the upper part, branches directed upwards. Leaves pinnatifid or lobate, rarely toothed, appressed to the stem, up to 2.5 cm long, shortly petiolate (petioles 0.2–1.0 cm); lower leaves caducous at the flowering and fruiting stages. Inflorescence leafy, lateral branches appressed to the stem or obliquely directed, narrowly cylindrical but not spreading, axis covered with short simple hairs up to 0.3 mm long mixed with glandular trichomes. Perianth segments 5, 0.6–0.7 × 0.3–0.4 mm, cristate on dorsal surface (especially on midrib) with numerous large simple stout hairs up to 0.3 mm, the bases of which can sometimes be concrescent, resulting in 2−3-furcate tips, intermixed with yellow subsessile glands and scattered glandular hairs (Fig. 23C). Fruit subspherical, 0.5–0.6 mm in diameter; pericarp with tiny volcano-like papillae (Fig. 23D). Seed blackish, keeled, embryo horizontal.
