''Chenopodium pallidicaule'', known as ''qañiwa'', ''qañawa'' or ''qañawi'' (Quechua,〔Teofilo Laime Ajacopa, Diccionario Bilingüe Iskay simipi yuyayk'ancha, La Paz, 2007 (Quechua-Spanish dictionary)〕〔Diccionario Quechua - Español - Quechua, Academía Mayor de la Lengua Quechua, Gobierno Regional Cusco, Cusco 2005 (Quechua-Spanish dictionary)〕〔(babylon.com/ )〕 hispanicized spellings ''cañihua, canihua, cañahua, cañahui'', also ''kaniwa, kañiwa'') is a species of goosefoot, similar in character and uses to the closely related ''quinoa'' ''(Chenopodium quinoa)''. ''Qañiwa'' has important beneficial characteristics including tolerance of high mountain conditions, high protein content, high antioxidant capacity and phenolic content〔http://www.springerlink.com/content/r687263w16457842/〕 and a lack of the saponins which complicate ''quinoa'' use. == Botanical Description == Qañiwa is a herbaceous and annual plant.〔Gade, Daniel W. (1970). "Ethnbotany of canihua (Chenopodium pallidicaule), Rustic Seed Crop of the Altiplano". ''Economic Botany'' 23: 55–61.〕〔Heiser, Jr., Charles B.; Nelson, David C. (1974). "On the origin of the cultivated chenopods". ''Genetics'' 78: 503–505.〕 This species is diploid with a chromosome number of 2n = 18.〔Wilson, H.D (1980). "Artificial hybridization among species of Chenopodium sect. Chenopodium". ''Syst. Bot.'' 5: 253–263.〕 There are two types of this species, which differ in their branching.The lasta type shows high branching, whereas the saguia type is characterized by few branching and its more erected growth.〔Hemandez, Esteban J. (1994). ''Neglected crops:1492 from a different perspective''. Rome: FAO. grows to 20–60 cm high and is therefore shorter than its close relative quinoa. Qañiwa also vary from quinoa in its inflorescence and its flower traits.〔 The inflorescences are situated on the terminal and axillar cimas.〔 The flowers are small and without petals.〔 There are three different types of flower. Hermaphrodite consists of both the stamen and the pistils. Another flower type are the pistillate flowers, which have pistils, but no stamens. The third type of flower are male sterile flowers.〔 The fruits are small and dark, which contain brown or black seed with a diameter of 0.5 to 1.5 mm.〔 The fruits are deciduous, which means that the seeds are lost spontaneously and are then dispersed.〔 Once maturation is reached, the plant stem and leaves change in colour to yellow, red, green or purple.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chenopodium pallidicaule」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
