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.
Herb with erect central stem, but dominated by the spreading
lower side branches. This growth habit is similar to that of A.
hybridus and A. retroflexus, but more extreme, and this
species always very easy to tell from these, partly by the
paler, more yellow-green color of the whole plant and the
much finer foliage.
