Dysphania graveolens, common name fetid goosefoot, is a plant found from Utah, Arizona and west Texas to Guatemala, Peru and northwest Argentina. It has been introduced elsewhere including the east coast of the United States (Maine, Massachusetts and New York state). It has many synonyms, including Chenopodium graveolens and Dysphania incisa.[2] In 2021, the correct name in Dysphania was said to be Dysphania graveolens,[3] although (As of April 2022), Plants of the World Online accepted the unpublished name Dysphania incisa.[2]

Uses

The Zuni people steep the plant in water and inhale the vapor to treat headaches.[4]
