Branched herb, often reaching 1.5 m subglabrous or sparsely hairy; leaves elliptic-ovate to elliptic-lanceolate, acuminate, green, sparsely hairy to subglabrous; petiole 3-20 mm long; inflorescence scarcely 10 cm long in
\nflower, elongating to up to 20 cm in fruit; bracteoles spiny 2-parted at base; pseudostaminode serrate or erose at apex. (The species is quite distinct from A. aspera in which plants are generally less branched, densely hairs, leaves rounded or mucronate at apex, fruiting inflorescence often as long as 40 cm, bracteoles spiny and 2-winged at base, pseudostaminode fimbriate and ciliate at apex.)<\/span><\/div>\n

A.bidentata<\/i> and A.aspera<\/i> can be differentiated by following key<\/u>:<\/span><\/div>\n

Leaves thick, scabrid, staminodes fimbriate from margins, wings of bracteoles less than 1mm…. A.aspera<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
It must be noted that A. coynei<\/b> is much different from A. dentata<\/i> and more a gigantic form of A. aspera<\/i> with larger habit and very long inflorescence often more than 30 cm long and thicker leaves<\/span><\/div>\n
A.porphyristachya<\/i> has been named as a var. of A aspera<\/i> in Mah BSI flora. with description of leaves similar to what you have described for the above species. i.e glabrous mambranous as against thick velvetty tomentose in A.aspera<\/i>. but……as you have described ; pattern of staminodes must be the key for distinguishing amongst the two.<\/span><\/div>\n

AMARANTHACEAE-CHENOPODIACEAE week: Achyranthes bidentata:<\/a>
\nAchyranthes<\/i> L. genus (Amaranthaceae<\/i>) is represented by 11 species in the world (The Plantlist 2013) and 5 naturally occurring (not cultivated) species in India. These are A. aspera, A.bidentata, A.coynei, A.porphyristachya<\/i> and A.shahii<\/i>.<\/span> Of these A.aspera<\/i> is most common and widespread in India.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here I am enclosing pics of Achyranthese bidentata<\/i> Blume.<\/div>\n
A.bidentata<\/i> and A.aspera<\/i> can be differentiated by following key:<\/div>\n
Leaves thick, scabrid, staminodes fimbriate from margins, wings of bracteoles less than 1mm….A.aspera<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
Leaves thin, membranous, staminodes toothed, wings of bracteoles 1.5-2mm long………………..A.bidentata<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
In addition to this A.bidentata <\/i>usually have smaller spikes.<\/div>\n
\n

Many thanks …, for the India-centric information regarding this genus; thanks for the keys too.<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks … for this important upload, A. bidentata<\/i> with pink flowers. In many parts in Western Himalayas the flowers are greenish. We found many populations of A. dentata<\/i> with pink flowers in Chakrata region.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Important to point out that there have been some uploads of pink flowered Achyranthes<\/i> from Western Himalayas which some members suggested as A. coynei<\/i>, a species endemic to Western Ghats.<\/span><\/div>\n
It must be noted that A. coynei<\/i> is much different from A. dentata<\/i> and more a gigantic form of A. aspera<\/i> with larger habit and very long inflorescence often more than 30 cm long and thicker leaves<\/span>, whereas this pink flowered form of A. bidentata<\/i>.
\n<\/span>It would be good idea for some researcher to study critically the normal green-flowered form and pink-flowered form of A. bidentata.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

Many thanks for the detail information from you and … A.porphyristachya<\/i> has been named as a var. of A aspera<\/i> in Mah BSI flora. with description of leaves similar to what you have described for the above species. i.e glabrous mambranous as against thick velvetty tomentose in A.aspera<\/i>. but……as you have described ; pattern of staminodes must be the key for distinguishing amongst the two.<\/span> (Of course apart from the geographical distribution.)<\/p>\n

Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week: Achyranthes bidentata with pink flowers?:<\/a> This interesting Achyranthes<\/i> was photographed growing commonly along roadsides from Dakpathar to all the way up to Chakrata, <\/span>having the habit, leaves and inflorescence of A. bidentata<\/i> but with pink flowers.<\/span> This plant needs further critical study in light of the fact that a pink flowered form of related species A. aspera<\/i> has been described as distinct species A. coynei<\/i> endemic Ghats. Here are points of distinction of concerned taxa:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

A. coynei<\/i>:<\/b> Perennial shrubby in habit, 2-4 m tall, pubescent when young, glabrescent when old; leaves broadly elliptic, 15-23 cm long, 7-10 cm broad, subglabrous above, pubescent beneath, especially along veins; petiole 1-3 cm long; flowers rosy purple, up to 1.5 cm across when open, dense on 30-60 cm long spike; bract 5 mm long, bracteoles with papery wing, tepals up to 8 mm long, pseudostaminodes fimbriate; utricle 5 mm long.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
A. aspera<\/i>:<\/b> Perennial herb up to 1 m tall, 4-angled, slightly inflated at nodes, pubescenct., branches opposite<\/span><\/span>; leaves opposite, broadly obovate to elliptic-oblong, hairy on both surfaces, apex obtuse, slightly mucronate; petiole up to 1.5 cm long; flowers green to tinged red, in terminal spikes, initially condensed finally up to 40 cm long; rachis densely hairy, angular; bracts 3-4 mm long, lanceolate, bracteoles spiny, 3-5 mm long, rigid with two basal membranous wings; perianth 4-5 mm long; pseudostaminodes crenate at apex; dorsal scale fimbriate or ciliate ; utricle ovoid, 3 mm long<\/span>. <\/span><\/span>
\n<\/span><\/div>\n
A. aspera<\/i> <\/b>var. porphyristachya<\/i><\/b>: Perennial herb 1.4-2 m tall, densely branched; leaves opposite, broadly elliptic, 7-25 cm long, acuminate; spike slender
\n<\/span><\/span>A. bidentata<\/i>:<\/b> Perennial herb up to 1 m tall, green or tinged purple, some what 4-angled, appressed pubescent or nearly glabrous, branches opposite; leaves opposite, elliptic to elliptic-lanceolate, up to 12 cm long, thinly hairy especially below, apex caudate; flowers green or pinkish, up to 5 mm long on terminal usually up to 10 cm long spike; bracts broadly ovate, 2-3 mm long, bracteoles 3 mm long, spiny, base 2-parted, apex curved; perianth 4-5 mm long, apex acute erose, without fimbriate dorsal scale; utricle 2-2.5 mm long.<\/span><\/div>\n

Thanks Sir for this upload..surely this genus is interesting…I will post mine pics from different places..I am not sure about their identification, definitely it is not as simple as we consider this to be..leaves are distinct in A. aspera..in all other forms leaves are almost similar..more closer look is perhaps mandatory for reaching to conclusion..<\/p>\n

Am not familiar with the flora of Mcleodganj, but this could be a species of Achyranthes<\/i>.<\/p>\n

This is Achyranthes bidentata<\/i>…<\/p>\n

Thank you once again. I knew its common name had Ox somewhere but kept on searching for Ox tongue and not Ox knee as it’s called.
\nThere is a big difference in the leaf shapes of this and the other plants I submitted in a different mail. Are both the exact same sp?<\/span><\/div>\n

Interesting …, how do you identify it from other Achyranthes<\/span><\/a><\/i>?<\/div>\n
I was going through the paper threatenedtaxa.<\/span>pdf<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and found superficial features described in that paper tallies (at least several features) with my species in following threads!<\/div>\n
