Amaranthus is a
cosmopolitan genus of
annual or short-lived
perennial plants collectively known as
amaranths.
[1] Some amaranth species are cultivated as
leaf vegetables,
pseudocereals, and
ornamental plants. Most of the
Amaranthus species are summer annual weeds and are commonly referred to as
pigweeds.
[2] Catkin-like
cymes of densely packed flowers grow in summer or autumn.
[3] Amaranth varies in flower, leaf, and stem color with a range of striking
pigments from the spectrum of maroon to crimson and can grow longitudinally from 1 to 2.5 metres (3 to 8 feet) tall with a cylindrical,
succulent, fibrous stem that is hollow with grooves and
bracteoles when mature.
[4] There are approximately 75 species in the genus, 10 of which are
dioecious and native to North America with the remaining 65
monoecious species
endemic to every continent (except Antarctica) from tropical lowlands to the Himalayas.
[5] Members of this genus share many characteristics and uses with members of the closely related genus
Celosia.
Amaranth grain is collected from the genus. The leaves of some species are also eaten.
