--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Stems </b>erect, intricately branched, 0.5–3 dm. <b>Leaves</b>: proximalmost blade linear, 4–20 × 2–3 mm, distalmost blade bracteate, sometimes ovate or ovate-lanceolate, densely grayish scurfy. <b>Staminate</b> flowers confined to a few distal axils. <b>Fruiting</b> bracteoles ovate or ovate-lanceolate in profile, (1.8–)2.3–2.7 × 1.5–2.1 mm, distal lobe typically larger and broader than lateral lobes, terminal tooth typically much largest or with this apparently displaced laterally.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Specimens cited by H. M. Hall and F. E. Clements (1923) from central Utah within their concept of <i>Atriplex wolfii</i> in a strict sense have fruiting bracteoles in which the terminal, or apparently terminal, cusp is off-set from the median position, thus appearing to be lateral and lacking a terminal cusp. Other materials cited by them away from the south-central Colorado type locality of <i></i>var.<i> tenuissima</i> bear bracteoles with a similar displacement of the terminal cusp. Hall and Clements placed such specimens within <i>A. wolfii</i>. Bracts of that type are unmatched among the materials of <i></i>var.<i> wolfii</i> in southern Colorado. As interpreted here, the plants belong to <i></i>var.<i> tenuissima</i>.</p>
