Amaranthaceae, C. C. Townsend. Flora Zambesiaca 9:1. 1988

Morphology General Habit: Annual herb, ascending or erect, attaining c. 1.25 m. in cultivation in Africa (taller in Asia).
Morphology Stem: Stem stout and usually branched, both it and the branches angular, glabrous or furnished in the upper parts with sparse (or denser in the inflorescence), more or less crisped hairs.
Morphology Leaves: Leaves glabrous, or thinly pilose on the inferior surface of the primary venation, green or purplish-suffused, long-petiolate (petioles to c. 8 cm. long), the lamina broadly ovate, rhomboid-ovate or broadly elliptic to lanceolate-oblong, acute to obtuse or emarginate at the apex, shortly cuneate to attenuate at the base.
Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers: Flowers green to crimson, in more or less globose clusters c. 4–25 mm. in diam., all or only the lower axillary and more or less distant, the upper sometimes without subtending leaves and increasingly approximate to form a thick terminal spike of variable length; male and female flowers intermixed.
Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences Bracts: Bracts and bracteoles broadly or deltoid-ovate; bracteoles subequalling or shorter than the perianth, pale-membranous, broadest near the base and narrowed upwards to the green midrib, which is excurrent to form a long, pale-tipped awn which is usually at least half as long as the basal part and not rarely equalling it.
Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Perianth: Perianth segments 3, 3–5 mm. long, elliptic or elliptic-oblong, narrowed above, pale-membranous, the green midrib excurrent into a long, pale-tipped awn; segments of the female flowers slightly accrescent in fruit.
Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Gynoecium Stigma: Stigmas 3, erect or recurved, c. 2 mm. long.
Morphology Reproductive morphology Fruits: Capsule ovoid-urceolate with a short beak below the style-bases, 2.25–2.75 mm., membranous, obscurely wrinkled, circumcissile.
Morphology Reproductive morphology Seeds: Seeds 1–1.5 mm. wide, black or brown, shining, faintly reticulate.

Amaranthaceae, C.C. Townsend. Flora of Tropical East Africa. 1985

Morphology General Habit: Annual herb, ascending or erect, attaining ± 1.25 m. in cultivation in Africa (even more in tropical Asia).
Morphology Stem: Stem stout, usually much branched, it and the branches angular, glabrous or furnished in the upper parts with sparse (or denser in the inflorescence) ± crisped hairs.
Morphology Leaves: Leaves glabrous, or thinly pilose on lower surface of primary nervation, green or purplish-suffused, very variable in size, long-petiolate (up to ± 8 cm.) lamina broadly ovate, rhomboid-ovate or broadly elliptic to lanceolate-oblong, emarginate to obtuse or acute at the apex, at the base shortly cuneate to attenuate, decurrent along the petiole.
Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers: Flowers green to crimson, in ± globose clusters ± 4–25 mm. in diameter, all or only the lower axillary and distant, the upper sometimes without subtending leaves and increasingly approximate to form a thick terminal spike of variable length, ♂ and ♀ flowers intermixed.
Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences Bracts: Bracts and bracteoles broadly ovate or deltoid-ovate; bracteoles subequalling or shorter than the perianth, pale and membranous, broadest near the base and gradually narrowed upwards to the green midrib which is excurrent to form a long pale-tipped awn usually at least half as long as the basal portion and not rarely equalling it.
Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Perianth: Perianth-segments 3, elliptic or oblong-elliptic, 3–5 mm. long, narrowed above, pale and membranous, the green midrib excurrent into a long pale-tipped awn, those of the ♀ flowers slightly accrescent in fruit.
Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Gynoecium Stigma: Stigmas 3, erect or recurved, ± 2 mm.
Morphology Reproductive morphology Fruits: Capsule ovoid-urceolate with a short beak below the style-base, 2.25–2.75 mm., circumscissile, membranous, obscurely wrinkled.
Morphology Reproductive morphology Seeds: Seed 1–1 5 mm., black or brown, shining, very faintly reticulate.
Figures: Fig. 4/6.
Distribution: Cultivated as a vegetable at Amani, and no doubt elsewhereapparently a native of tropical Asia, this species is a well-known ornamental and vegetable in the tropics P
