Plant for ID : Patni Top : 191011 : AK-3<\/font><\/a>: Found growing in a garden at Patni Top<\/font> on the 5th of Sept,11.
No flowers seen as it is a small plant.<\/font>
Tender leaves are pink in color as seen.<\/font>
Reminds me of a vegetable named ‘Bathua’<\/b>. <\/p>\n

\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Yes it is Chenopodium album<\/i>, the bathua<\/b>\u00a0<\/div>\n

Would the correct name be Chenopodium album<\/em> subsp amaranticolor<\/em>?<\/div>\n
This was seen at Patni Top.<\/p>\n

Chenopodium album <\/em>subsp. amaranticolor<\/i> (Coste & Reyn.) Coste & Reyn.\u00a0is a syn. of Chenopodium giganteum <\/strong>D. Don<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

Chenopodium giganteum<\/em> D. Don<\/p>\n

\n

It is C. amaranticolor<\/strong><\/em>, but not a synonym of C. gigantertum<\/em> (C. bengalense<\/em>). There are different species.<\/font><\/p>\n

\n
Thanks a lot, \u2026 May I know the key difference between the two.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
POWO<\/font><\/a> does not seem to accept them as separate species. <\/p>\n

We are dealing in these years with Chenopodium<\/em> including the phylogeny and taxonomy. I to date, we are considering Chenopodium amaranticolor<\/em> as a synonym of C. bengalense<\/em> and separating C. purpuranscens<\/em> with almost entire (not lobate) lower leaves. I hope to disentangle the synonymy of both species; it is very difficult. Anyway, I hope to clarify this problem in these two years, So in my opinion, C. amaranticolor<\/em> is still a synonym of C. bengalense<\/strong><\/em> (present in Himalaya), and C. purpurascens<\/em> is perhaps not present in India (known in South Europe, Central America and South Africa).<\/font><\/p>\n
