		In spite of the fact that the genus Amaranthus has been the subject of many taxonomic studies, it is still poorly understood and is widely considered to be a "difficult" genus.
		This infrageneric classification with 3 subgenera (Acnida, Amaranthus and Albersia) is based on classical characters, such as those of inflorescence and floral characteristics, and it would be interesting to see if other characters support it too.
		At one extreme is that of Sauer (1950, 1967) in which he recognizes the cultivated taxa (Amaranthus caudatus, A. cruentus and A. hypochondriacus) as species.
