gomphrena weed;
.
Perennial, decumbent herbs. Leaves opposite, subsessile or shortly-petioled, lanceolate-oblong or oblanceolate or spatulate, 2-3 x 0.5-0.8 cm, apex acute, base acute-acuminate. Flowers in sessile heads, at first globose, gradually elongating into a wide spike. Perianth lanceolate, 0.3 cm long, white woolly beneath.
.
Keys:
The inflorescence elongates sufficiently (usually more than 3 cm) to leave lower part of inflorescence naked in G. celosioides, not found in G. serrata where it does not elongate more than 2.5 cm, also leaves are clearly acute in G. serrata, nearly obtuse in G. celosioides. They are described in detail in Flora of Taiwan .
In G. serrata are darker green, all leaves acute, spike snow-white, not elongating to more than 2.5 cm and very important that crest is very large and dentate (serrate) even in a distant shot. In G. celosioides plants are whitish-green to yellowish-green, most leaves obtuse at apex, spike dull white and often elongating to as long as 7 cm, crest is much smaller and not distinctly serrate.

Flora of Panipat: Gomphrena serrata from PIET Campus samalkha panipat: Gomphrena celosioides, I hope Sir Ji Whats the difference between the two species? Does Gomphrena serrata has serrate leaf margin? Gomphrena celosioides similar to G. serrata, but the crests on bracteoles are short, irregularly dentate, and are just below the apex of the bracteoles (cf G. serrata, which has crests on 1/2 to full length of bracteoles). Also the rachis of G. celosioides tends to elongate at maturity (cf G. serrata, in which the rachis does not elongate). ( http://florabase.calm.wa.gov.au/browse/profile/2677)

Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week : sk-11 : Gomphrena sp.: If we look at the following image and the details in in the pdf. all photographs uploaded this week (including yours) should belong to G. celosoides only:
Please note plants in G. serrata are darker green, all leaves acute, spike snow-white, not elongating to more than 2.5 cm and very important that crest is very large and dentate (serrate) even in a distant shot.
In G. celosioides plants are whitish-green to yellowish-green, most leaves obtuse at apex, spike dull white and often elongating to as long as 7 cm, crest is much smaller and not distinctly serrate. Thank you very much Sir. It is G. celosioides. You have explained it very beautifully. I am not sure if there is any photo G. serrata in efI database.
