The New York Botanical Garden Plants of U.S.A. Amaranthaceae Amaranthus hybridus L. det. M. Nee, 2002 NEW YORK, Tompkins Co., Varna Experimental plots for vegetable crops of Cornell University, 2 miles E of Ithaca. The Cucurbitaceae and Lycopersicon plots with Portulaca oleracea, Chenopodium album, Ambrosia artemisiifolia, Mollugo verticillata, Amaranthus albus, A. hybridus, A. retroflexus. All specimens of this number from a single plant. Herb, much more common than A. retroflexus (no. 52290) in these plots, but both species here and almost all distinguishable, most easily by the fresher green color of A. hybridus along with the more visible and pronounced red tinge and stripes on the stems. Amaranthus retroflexus has shorter and more congested inflorescence branches in the terminal portion of the plant. The terminal inflorescence portions of the lower, spreading side branches are less robust than on the terminal one in both species. Coll.: M. Nee 52290 30 August 2002 03364053
