Looks different from images of Amaranthus blitoides as per

Useful Tropical Plants

Calflora

Illinois Wildflowers

It should be Amaranthus polygonoides as per

iNaturalist

GBIF

Florida Plants

I am confused between Amaranthus polygonoides L. as per iNaturalist, GBIF, Florida Plants and POWO and FoPI and

Amaranthus graecizans as per images posted by Lalithamba ji.

Pl. clarify.

Wow! they look so similar .....

Amaranthus polygonoides L.- http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:316348-2
Amaranthus graecizans L. - http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:10641-2
Amaranthus graecizans subsp. thellungianus (Nevski) Gusev - http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:874094-1
Amaranthus blitoides S.Watson - http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:10615-2

Then there is this info - "In North America the name Amaranthus graecizans has been constantly misapplied to the common North American taxa A. albus and A. blitoides......."

So, (1) check distribution, (2) then, which one is edible, (3) which one is prostrate

But, most importantly, first check - how many tepals are there in pistillate flower - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=101257#KEY-1-24

Thank you.

Best regards,

Surajit Koley
