Taxonomy.
It was first published as "Atriplex paludosa" var. "Baudini" by Alfred Moquin-Tandon in 1849, based on specimens collected by during the Baudin expedition. The orthography of "Baudini" was later altered to "baudinii". At the same time, Moquin-Tandon published "Atriplex drummondii", based on specimens collected by James Drummond, but the latter name is now considered a taxonomic synonym of the former. In 1938, Paul Aellen promoted the variety to subspecies rank. At the same time, the inexplicably published "Atriplex paludosa" var. "typica" for this taxon, a name that is invalid, illegal and superfluous.
