please identify the plant in picture from Warsaw. Is it some Alternanthera sp.

Yes ‘Red Alternanthera’. Most probably Alternanthera ficoidea.

Iresine herbstii – a warm temperate plant in Amaranthaceae, originally from South America, I think.

Noted the correct ID and thanks for communicating the same to me. Sorry … for my misidentification. In fact, I am very familiar with this plant (Iresine species) and had grown this in my institute’s garden a decade ago dentified and explained to many about the special features of this plant. While checking your photograph I just did the ID in such a hurry that it did not occur to me that I had this plant in my garden and all my attention was only on red Alternathera. This is a lesson for non-professional taxonomists like me to be patient while checking the characters. Patient pays and hurry harms.

Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week: RVS-10: Iresine herbstii?:
Please confirm if this is Iresine herbstii. Found growing in a garden near Tirunelveli, TN.

I feel this is not Iresine herbstii.

This is Purple Amaranthus or Red Amaranthus.

I have posted a picture of Iresine herbstii from Munnar earlier.

Will repost under family week.
Experts kindly correct me if I am wrong, since I’m not an expert in Botany.

look at the inflorescence…
all wrong for a purple or red amaranth…
dont just focus on the rounded ends of the leaves…
they can be rounded or pointed…

Thanks for correcting me. It was just a guess.

Seems to be Iresine herbstii only.
Probably I had got confused earlier.

Many times I have observed in my fields it self …, haven’t taken photos, will soon send if it possible,
I have found in google relevant pics in the below link, once see there: facebook

Looks somewhat close to images at Iresine herbstii

Sorry …, it’s not Iresine, If possible revisit the plant …,

This pic is too old, it will not be possible for me to revisit this.

Also, it was a roadside plant, so most probably may not find it there as well.
Let us keep it as unidentified.
