\n<\/span>please identify the plant in picture<\/span> from Warsaw<\/span>. Is it some <\/span>Alternanthera<\/i> sp.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n

Yes\u00a0‘Red Alternanthera’. Most probably\u00a0Alternanthera ficoidea.<\/i><\/p>\n

\n

Iresine herbstii<\/i> –<\/span> a warm temperate plant in Amaranthaceae<\/i><\/span><\/span>, originally from South America,<\/span> I think.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Noted the\u00a0correct ID and thanks for communicating the same to me.\u00a0Sorry … for \u00a0my \u00a0misidentification.\u00a0In fact, I am very familiar with this plant (<\/span><\/span>Iresine<\/i> species)\u00a0and had grown this in my institute’s garden\u00a0a\u00a0decade ago dentified and explained to many \u00a0about the special features of this plant.\u00a0While checking \u00a0your photograph\u00a0I 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 \u00a0was only on red Alternathera.\u00a0 This is a lesson for non-professional taxonomists like me to be patient while \u00a0checking the characters. Patient pays and hurry\u00a0harms.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week: RVS-10: Iresine herbstii?:<\/a>
\nPlease confirm if this is\u00a0Iresine herbstii<\/i>. Found\u00a0growing in a garden<\/span>\u00a0near Tirunelveli, TN.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n
\n
I feel this is not\u00a0Iresine herbstii<\/i>.<\/div>\n
This is Purple Amaranthus or Red Amaranthus.<\/div>\n
I have posted a picture of\u00a0Iresine herbstii<\/i>\u00a0from Munnar earlier.<\/div>\n
Will repost under family week.
\nExperts kindly correct me if I am wrong, since I\u2019m not an expert in Botany.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n

look at the inflorescence\u2026
\nall wrong for a purple or red amaranth\u2026
\ndont just focus on the rounded ends of the leaves\u2026
\nthey can be rounded or pointed\u2026<\/p>\n

\n

Thanks for correcting me. It was just a guess.<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Seems to be Iresine herbstii<\/em> only.
\nProbably I had got confused earlier.<\/p>\n

Sorry …, it’s not Iresine,\u00a0<\/em>If possible revisit the plant …,<\/p>\n

\n
\n<\/div>\n
This pic is too old, it will not be possible for me to revisit this.<\/div>\n
Also, it was a roadside plant, so most probably may not find it there as well.
\nLet us keep it as unidentified.<\/span><\/div>\n
