Meaning of goosefoots | Babel Free

Examples

“For example, asparagus, the Russian thistle, the atriplexes, some of the goosefoots, and some of the grasses, such as Distichlis spicata, Spartina gracilis, and finetop salt-grass, thrive in a saline soil, where most other plants could not live.”

“The pioneering annuals on the beaches nearby are wind-pollinated, like the goosefoots and dropseeds, or somewhat capable of self-pollination as the wild tomatoes can be when pollinators are scarce.”

“Consequently Goosefoots are often found in salt marshes, or in desert areas where water collects and then evaporates, leaving salts in the soil.”
