Orache, Atriplex. A pot herb. It is also named orache, though it is somewhat different. [1] It grows to six feet and produces broad leaves resembling those of spinach beet, though the latter are insipid. Its small flowers have several yellowish stamens. Atriplex is raised from seed sown in spring. The leaves are used in soup and for stuffing. This plant springs up in any soil condition and requires no particular cultivation.
Notes
1. There are about 100 species of Atriplex. Atriplex hortensis or garden orache is grown as a vegetable. ‘Bonne-dame’ is commonly translated as orache.
