Sir,

As per keys in the "Bengal Plants" -

leaves acute or acuminate; bracts recurved, much exceeding the oblong-lanceolate, acuminate sepals ----- A. cruentus L.

leaves obtuse, rarely acute; bracts hardly recurved, not much exceeding the obovate, mucronate sepals ----- A. caudatus L.

Thank you,

Regards,

surajit

As per http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=101257#KEY-1-11

• Complex thyrsoid structures pendulous ...... A. caudatus
  
• Complex thyrsoid structures erect; ...... A. cruentus
  

If the question is selecting between the two, obviously it would be A. cruentus.

But why not A. hypochondriacus when we have reports like https://www.biotecharticles.com/Agriculture-Article/Amaranth-A-Potential-Multipurpose-Underexploited-Crop-3871.html ?

Thank you.

Best regards,
