Genera[1]

Atripliceae are a tribe of the subfamily Chenopodioideae belonging to the plant family Amaranthaceae. Atriplex is the largest genus of the tribe. Species of Atripiceae are ecologically important in steppe and semi-desert climates.[2]

Distribution

Most of the species are distributed in Africa, Australia, and North America, with some others spread out worldwide.[3]

Taxonomy

Traditional taxonomy of Atripliceae based on morphological features has been controversial.[2][3] Molecular studies have found that many genera are not true clades. One such study found that Atripliceae could be divided into two main clades, Archiatriplex, with a few, scattered species, and the larger Atriplex clade, which is highly diverse and found around the world.[3]
