Amaranthus species;
Fruits & Vegetables Week : Amaranthaceae vegetable: A common Amaranthaceae member leafy vegetable with flowers.
लाल माठ or राजगिरा in Marathi. *Amaranthus gangeticus* ? these are spectacular photos of this all-time favourite 🙂
in kolar district it grows in soil that is like rubble – no soil at all, and yet it grows.
i think it is a fantastic plant. i grow it in my garden which is totally in the shade and it goes for days without water. but having said all this i still do not know the botanical name i feel i should stop writing for a few days. …- thanks for this group and for your knowledge. I think it is *Amaranthus cruentus* rather than *A. gangeticus.*
Please refer to following links. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranthus_cruentus http://www.bijlmakers.com/vegetables/amaranthus.htm A.gangeticus is an annual flowering plant with deep purple flowers Adding my picture taken at Mahabaleshwar in a Strawbwrry field. May be one of these A. blitum, A. dubious, and A. cruentus.
Amaranthus sp. (?) from Guwahati.: Are attached images Amaranthus Sp.? Please ID for this.
Date :16/11/2012 Location: Maligaon, Guwahati-11 [Dist- Kamrup(Metro)] Habitat: Grows on road side Habit : shrub Inflorescence : Spike Fruits : not seen Could it be Amaranthus polygonoides L.? Found a herbarium of Amaranthus polygonoides L. at http://w3.biosci.utexas.edu/prc/specimens/img/079AmaraPoltxxx00280294.JPG (source : http://w3.biosci.utexas.edu/prc/specimens/Amaranthaceae.html).
Searched FoP, FoNA & FoC, found two species may be similar to this – Amaranthus dubius Mart. ex Thell. & Amaranthus viridis L.; would go for the second one, for its lamina, resembles the illustration at FoP. But, pictures found in the group posts do not match.
