| Common
lambsquarters grow throughout Indiana and much of the southern portion
of the north central region of the United States. It is an annual
plant that reproduces only by seed. The leaves are commonly light
green and covered with a mealy, white substance that appears as if someone
has sprinkled powdered sugar on the plant. |

The leaves
are irregularly lobed and basically triangular in shape. On fertile
soil, this plant may grow to as tall as 7 or 8 feet. |

| The inflorescence
on common lambsquarters is green in color and contains large quantities
of seed. |

These
seeds are born on the tips of the stem throughout the entire plant and
are commonly found with their outer hulls still attached. With the
hulls attached, these seeds are brownish-tan and shaped like 5-pointed
stars. |
