The arctic, halophytic species Atriplex lapponica Pojark has flowers of two kinds: perfect ones surrounded by a pentamerous perianth and pistillate flowers enclosed in bracteoles. Thus, A. lapponica is closely related to the species of sect. Dichospermum Dumort, not to species of sect. Teutliopsis Dumort. as generally believed.
