Celosia argentea-10/8/2011MN: Sending a photo of Cockscomb (Celosia argentea) from my garden.
Date : 7.2.2010
Time : 3.30 p.m. Place: Dombivli Formerly recognised as var. cristata, but not now You are right. Dr.Almeida in his ‘Flora of Maharashtra’ Vol 4A has labelled this Celosia cristata [syn. C.argentea var.cristata / Cock’s comb] whereas Yadav & Sardesai in their ‘Flora of Kholapur District’ list it as C.argentea var. cristata [locally called Kombada]. Strangely GRIN does not seem to be agreeing with Kew Plant List. Although Kew Plant list treats this simply as synonym of C. argentea, GRIN (last updated in May, 2011) treats it as Celosia argentea var. cristata.

2) http://eol.org/pages/585463/overview Beautiful flowers. I grew once these plants and before flowering started my mother-in-law cut it very thinly thinking that it is the Laal maath (Amaranthus) which we use as vegetable. After all the cuttings she realised her mistake ! In the next time I was successful in having it produce flowers. I have posted the flowers once in eflora. As you say that the saplings of this one resemble the Amaranthus viridis or that of A. gangeticus. We call the latter as LAL-SHAK (shak = leafy vegetable) in Bengali.

Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week:: UD 004:: Amaranth family 1 to ID: this is possibly a Celosia Celosia spicata I hope Very good photographs. To me, the topmost inflorescence shows an hint of C. argentea var. cristata. What i understand about Celosia is that it has two forms, one with crested or feathery spike, it is called C. argentea var. cristata (C. cristata) and the other is without crest or feathery top, known as C. argentea var. spicata (C. spicata).
So, i agree with … and would request … to correct me if my understanding is wrong. I too agree with …
Family?: I took the picure of cobscomb at Tuglakabad. But do not have much idea of the the family. Celosia argentea var. cristata with caution that the matter of identity has to be resolved in eFlora India group. In addition another document by Graf 1992 names it as Celosia cristata! Thanks … I thought one of them is cobscomb. Yes it is ‘Cockscomb” a popular ornamental in India which is cultivated variety of Celosia argentea known as Celosia argentea var. cristata. Celosia argentea.
