@natureguy @tapirlord - what characteristics are triggering re-defining this as nigrum ? (it would be useful to know as there is very little difference in their descriptions in state flora)
Back then, I think I used the lack of 'purple-green' to assign to chenopodioides

It is a very large plant for S.nigrum, but yes that is what the ID should be going through the key. Fruiting peduncules don't appear to be sharply deflexed.
