It features in both Efloras: Pakistan & China. In Pakistan Eflora Gomphrena decumbens sensu Gamble as synonym of G. celosioides. Further Flowers of Sahyadri mentions Gomphrena serrata. I think there is some confusion between the two species, them being too close. Flora of North America mentions Gomphrena serrata, with Gomphrena decumbens as a synonym:

Yes … an earlier post Gomphrena serrata from …, where … has pointed an interesting link to Flora Zambesiaca in Kew Databases with notes on some unresolved mix-up between Gomphrena serrata and Gomphrena celosioides. The conclusion after I quickly read the links seems to go towards G. serrata, the species G. celosoides can be a case of misidentification.. my post should accurately have been G. serrata.. I don’t think our plant from Delhi and Haryana is G. serrata. The inflorescence elongates sufficiently (usually more than 3 cm) to leave lower part of inflorescence naked, 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
your posted plant must be G. celosioides as per your ID. Thanks for pic 2 and esp 3 , now when we see these in grass, wont just trample and move on, we will stop and look and may be even if carrying a camera photograph it..

Longest leaves about 25mm long. Gomphrena serrata L. (Amaranthaceae) . 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)
Flora of Haryana 2012: Gomphrena celosoides: Gomphrena celosoides Mart., Beitr. Amart. 93, 1825.
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.

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.

Gomphrena celosoides

रुद्राक्षी Yes. It is.
ID for plant 4 – efloraofindia | Google Groups
1. Req. for ID 01.07.2012: Request for ID IT is Gomphrena decumbens Could be a species of Alternanthera of Amaranthaceae family. It is Gomphrena serrata of Amaranthaceae. Its popular name G. decumbens is now a synonym. A chance for Gomphrena celosioides Mart. ??? Isn’t G. celosioides a synonym to G. serrata? I think there is some level of confusion in this nomenclature. Gomphrena globosa as well as Alternathera were studied critically by Prof.CR Babu in 68-70.the mss used by Miss Das? for her Doctoral thesis. Gomphrena is known as Bogota Flower (Telugu Bogoda Banthi puvvulu, like Chili kada Dumpalu for Sweet potato from Chile) these were first introduced at Samalkota where Roxburgh and Koenig made beginnings of botany in colonial India. There was no single Univesity in America then. Both myself and Babu used to walk from Andul Rd and we found all species including A.philoxerodes which soldin bazar as vgetable and Cinchona ledgeriana just near pinetum …… Based uon the literature cited by Sasidharan (2006), FLOWERING PLANTS OF KERALA, 3 species were present in Kerala. 1. Gomphrena celosioides Mart., Beitr. Amarantac. 93. 1825
Syn: Gomphrena decumbens sensu Gamble, Fl. Pres. Madras 1179(825). 1925, non Jacq. 1805.
2. Gomphrena globosa L., Sp. Pl. 224. 1753; Gamble, Fl. Pres. Madras 1179(825). 1925
3. Gomphrena serrata L., Sp. Pl. 224. 1753
Syn: Gomphrena decumbens Jacq., Hort. Schoenbr. t. 482. 1805.
serrata and celosioides are treated as valid names.
Now it is making some confusion in nomenclature.
Amaranthaceae for ID : Bangalore : 30SEP20 : AK-28 : 13 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (2) Looks Alternanthera sp. but unable to decide due to leaf pattern. Appears like Gomphrena celosioides. I guess you are right … Id by … is correct. It is a common weed in Bangalore and Mysore. Also found near a wasteland nearby my house. Can we consider Gomphrena serrata? Appears close to Gomphrena serrata L. Gomphrena celosioides Mart. (syn. of Gomphrena serrata L. as per Catalogue of Life) Gomphrena celosioides and Gomphrena serrata are shown as two different Species in Flowersofindia.
That was the reason for my confusion. After going through the details and references at efloraofindia page, I would like to go with Catalogue of Life. Thanks … I take it as Gomphrena serrata, Syn Gomphrena celosioides. Yes.
