Kochia's greenish-yellow flowers are 4-5 mm across. Perfect flowers have five green, bluntly-triangular sepals that develop wings along their outer face, no petals, five stamens each with two large yellow or pink anthers, and a divided style; pistillate flowers lack the stamens. The flowers are wind-pollinated. The fruit is a flattened, five-lobed, winged capsule nestled in the sepals that contains a solitary seed. ITIS says that the accepted name for this plant is Kochia scoparia; World Flora Online claims the proper binomial is Bassia scoparia.
