Celosia argentea-10/8/2011MN: Sending a photo of Cockscomb (Celosia argentea) from my garden. Date : 7.2.2010 Time : 3.30 p.m. Place: Dombivli Formerly recognised as var. cristata, but not now You are right. Dr.Almeida in his 'Flora of Maharashtra' Vol 4A has labelled this Celosia cristata [syn. C.argentea var.cristata / Cock's comb] whereas Yadav & Sardesai in their 'Flora of Kholapur District' list it as C.argentea var. cristata [locally called Kombada]. Celosia argentea is a distinct species and my photographs of it are available at this link : https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/ca... Strangely GRIN does not seem to be agreeing with Kew Plant List. Although Kew Plant list treats this simply as synonym of C. argentea, GRIN (last updated in May, 2011) treats it as Celosia argentea var. cristata.

I grew once these plants and before flowering started my mother-in-law cut it very thinly thinking that it is the Laal maath (Amaranthus) which we use as vegetable. After all the cuttings she realised her mistake ! In the next time I was successful in having it produce flowers. I have posted the flowers once in eflora. As you say that the saplings of this one resemble the Amaranthus viridis or that of A. gangeticus. We call the latter as LAL-SHAK (shak = leafy vegetable) in Bengali.

Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week:: UD 004:: Amaranth family 1 to ID: this is possibly a Celosia but which one? It was growing isolated in a garden pot in July one year in a local Ashram grounds, in full sun in the heat. I would appreciate a key and some references Celosia spicata I hope Very good photographs. To me, the topmost inflorescence shows an hint of C. argentea var. cristata. What i understand about Celosia is that it has two forms, one with crested or feathery spike, it is called C. argentea var. cristata (C. cristata) and the other is without crest or feathery top, known as C. argentea var. spicata (C. spicata). So, i agree with ... and would request ... to correct me if my understanding is wrong. I too agree with ...

[efloraofindia:For Id 04022013MR3] Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week: shrub with maroon flowers at Pune: Sep 2012 Requesting identification of 3-4 feet tall shrub with maroon flowers at joggers park at Pune It looks like cockscomb (Celosia cristata). Thank you ... for the Id I searched for the images of Celosia cristata on net. In all the pictures I didn't find any with coloured leaves. Can this be red Amaranth vegetable? I may be wrong though. I have this plant at home with coloured leaves and exactly the same soaking pink flowers. I have just posted image of leaves here. Last year leaves were more of pink. This year leaves are green+ pink. I had noticed that the part of leaves which were in sun was more pink and the parts in shade were green. Sparrows gorge on the seeds, I haven't tried uptill now :) Seeds were sold to me as Celosia Plumosa (Cockscomb), I am still confused as to what exactly it is called celosia argentea var. plumosa or celosia cristata.
