Chenolea

Chenolea is a genus of flowering plants belonging to the family Amaranthaceae. These plants are typically annual herbs or subshrubs, found in arid and semi-arid regions. Chenolea species are native to Australia. They are characterized by their small, inconspicuous flowers and often succulent-like leaves, adapted to conserve water in dry environments. The taxonomic classification and relationships within the genus have been subject to revision and debate. Some species formerly classified within Chenolea may now be placed in other genera within the Amaranthaceae family. Due to their habitat, they are sometimes of interest in studies related to drought tolerance and plant adaptation.
