Dear friends,

Amaranth plant growing (07 DEC 08) in untended area of building premises (Vaghbil, Thane)

Height about 40 - 50 cm

Looks like Amaranthus caturus -- referencing pictorially: http://iscmumbai.maharashtra.gov.in/floristic%20survey.html (Floristic Survey of Institute of Science)

Could be A. viridis -- the plant bears no spines.

ID please.

Regards.
