Hooghly Today : Amaranthus tricolor Linn. = Amaranthus gangeticus Linn.: I think it is Amarantus gangeticus Linn. = Amaranthus gangeticus Linn. = A. tricolor Linn., according to GRIN and The Plant List. I am fascinated by the details provided by you through images for each plant.
Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week :: Amaranthus tricolor : Muscat : AK-3: Yet another Amaranthus tricolor in shades of red, green and yellow.
Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week :: Amaranthus tricolor : Muscat : AK-1: Sharing pictures of Amaranthus tricolor from Muscat, Oman. A cultivated, ornamental plant. Common names Joseph's Coat, Tampala, Vegetable Amaranth.
Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week :: Amaranthus tricolor : Muscat : AK-4: One more color of ornamental Amaranth in yellow and pink. These plants are not native here, but imported in the cooler months. This is Amaranthus tricolor L., as in - https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/a/amaranthaceae/amaranthus/amaranthus-tricolor. Many thanks ... for sharing this ornamental. Thank you very much ..., but this species is an agri-produce. we call it LAL-SHAK or LAL-NOTEY in Bengali. Attaching more photos of this plant, found today in a kitchen garden. The cultivation season is almost over now.
Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week :: Amaranthus tricolor : Muscat : AK-2: Another color of Amaranthus tricolor. An ornamental plant.
Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week :: Chenopodium for ID : Muscat : 090213 : AK-14: A small plant found growing wild yesterday (9.2.13). Chenopodium species? Chenopodium murale,
Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week : sk-15 : Amaranthus tricolor L. (green): This is another NOTEY SHAK (SHAG) which is a cultivated species. I found this today, in a kitchen garden. I think it is green variety of Amaranthus tricolor L. The only tall & succulent Amaranthus in the 2nd sub-group (bracts acute, hardly awned.....) of the "Bengal Plants" is the A. blitum var. oleracea. But, in the species in this thread leaves are NOT large, NOT oblong or rounded. So, it belongs to sub-group-1 of the "Bengal Plants" - https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/uf3WH6Oo5wA/discussion. This edible cultivated species, with its "flowers clustered in lower axils and also forming a long terminal spike", is certainly Amaranthus gangeticus L. = A. tricolor L. Now, let's see if this can be A. gangeticus var. tristis - "Bengal Plants" equates A. gangeticus var. tristis with A. tristis F. I. iii. 604; and A. polygamus F. I. iii. 603. Flora Indica describes -
Since, this plant has branches at the base of its stem i think it is A. gangeticus var. tristis of the "Bengal Plants". However - A. polygamus Willd. iv. 381 (F. I. iii. 603.) = Amaranthus polygamus Roxb. is a synonym of Amaranthus tricolor L. (The Plant List) ??? Note- The above thread added here in view of Flora Of Pakistan, which considers all these names as syn. of Amaranthus tricolor L.
This is yet another edible Amaranthus, sold as KATOA NOTEY (NOT kanta-notey) in the market. It can grow as big as an adult person. I think this is also Amaranthus tricolor L. This is also Amaranthus gangeticus L. = A. tricolor L. But, i am not sure if this can be A. gangeticus var. tristis.
Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week: NS 013: Amaranthus 2 for id: This is one more Amaranthus for identification...from Panipat This one too seems to me similar to my post at - https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/nOTmmrXP2S8/discussion.
Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week: NS 012: Amaranthus 1 for id: This Amaranthus species was shot from Panipat...hope to get id resolved.. This seems to be the same plant as in my upload at - https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/nOTmmrXP2S8/discussion. Thanks ... for id suggestions..
Amaranthus sp for id from Panipat Wild looks different from both A spinosa and A viridis. size same as that of spinosa id please I think, with its awned bracts and three stamens, it is an escape of Amaranthus gangeticus L. (A. tricolor L.). Thanks ... I am also agree with A tricolor
