AMARANTH US Linnaeus
AMARANTmiS SFHNOSUS Liiiii; Blanco PL Filip. (1837) 710.
(1845) 491; ed. 3, 3 (1879) 113.
The Linnean species was correctly interpreted by Blanco. It
is very common and widely distributed in the Philippines at low
altitudes in the settled areas; abundant also along gravel bars
in the beds of streams and along the shores of rivers. It is cer-
tainly an introduced plant in the Philippines.
