Saltmarsh Goosefoot Chenopodium chenopodioides (Chenopodiaceae). Height to 30cm. Recalls Red Goosefoot but the mature leaves are always red below and indeed the whole plant is often red tinged. The reddish-green flowers are borne in clusters (July-Sep) and the plant grows on drying mud in saltmarshes, with north Kent as its stronghold.
