An emended description of Chenopodiastrum S. Fuentes, Uotila & Borsch, a small segregate genus of the heterogeneous Linnaean genus Chenopodium, is provided and morphological characters used in the generic description are evaluated. Two species are transferred from Chenopodium to Chenopodiastrum for which two new combinations, Chenopodiastrum erosum (R. Br.) Uotila and C. gracilispicum (H.W. Kung) Uotila, are made. The descriptions of these species are emended and their relationships within the genus discussed.
