Iresine herbstii ?;
Chenopodiaceae and Amaranthaceae Week: RVS-10: Iresine herbstii?: Please confirm if this is Iresine herbstii. Found growing in a garden near Tirunelveli, TN. I feel this is not Iresine herbstii. This is Purple Amaranthus or Red Amaranthus. I have posted a picture of Iresine herbstii from Munnar earlier. Will repost under family week. Experts kindly correct me if I am wrong, since I'm not an expert in Botany. look at the inflorescence... all wrong for a purple or red amaranth... dont just focus on the rounded ends of the leaves... they can be rounded or pointed... Thanks for correcting me. It was just a guess. |
