plant id, please
A friend sent me a message asking me for an ID of this plant, but I'm on holiday and away from my books and am rather embarrassed that I can't remember what it's called off-hand. Can anyone help?

Hmm..been pondering--chenopodium, perhaps?

'imgur: the simple image sharer' (http://imgur.com/YtnbuuL) Kind thanks! It's not a plant that I know, but it looks like something in Chenopodiaceae or Amaranthaceae (and might well not be in your books). Try looking up pigweed (non-ornamental forms of Amaranthus) and see if you can see a match (you might have to ask for better pictures).
