A rare plant in Himalaya. Phenology. Flowering: July-September; fruiting: August-October. Distribution. See Fig. 29 . Figure 29. Distribution map of Teloxys aristata (stars) and Axyris prostrata (circles). Specimens examined. CHINA: Xizang: Qamdo Prefecture : [ Zhag'yab (Chaya) County] Gyitang (Jitang), 3000 m a.s.l., 20 Sep 1976, Wu et al. 6002 (KUN0587074); NEPAL : Western : Dhaulagiri Zone : Mustang Distr., Khinga, 3100 m a.s.l., 21 Aug 1994, S.

Central Asia, alien and ephemerophyte in many temperate regions of Eurasia and North America. In some of the herbaria visited, the specimens from Xizang identified as Chenopodium aristatum (≡ Teloxys aristata ) indeed belong to Dysphania species, although its wider occurrence in this province has been predicted. There are no specimens from India, but the species could be found in some areas (especially in Jammu & Kashmir).
