 Amaranthus in Flora of North America @ efloras.org
Morphologic terminology in Amaranthus, as used in different floristic and taxonomic treatments, is rather confusing, especially regarding the terms applied to inflorescences and flowers.
The degree and scope of hybridization in Amaranthus are often overestimated, especially by European authors, and some taxa described as putative hybrids are in fact nonhybrid infraspecific forms of morphologically variable species.
Species of Amaranthus were widely used by prehistoric and modern Native Americans as food, forage for livestock, medicinal plants, and, occasionally, for some other uses, such as face and body paint, ceremonial items, and fuel (S. Cheatham et al.

 IK Notes #79 - Local Innovations using Traditional Vegetables to Improve Soil Quality
In this particular parish, the farmers grew the traditional vegetables Nakati (Solanum aethiopicum), Ebugga (Amaranthus dubius), Entula (Solanum aethiopicum gilo) and Ejobyo (Cleome gynandra) as cash-crops.
Further experimentation led the farmers to conclude that by rotating specific exotic vegetable crops with specific traditional vegetable crops, the result was that the exotic vegetable crops grew better and produced a higher yield in comparison to when they were planted in soil that had not previously hosted the specific traditional vegetables.
Given the focus of this study the researchers were unable to work with the farmers over an extended period of time in order to scientifically verify the actual ability of the identified crops to do what the farmers claimed.

In both simulations and actual measurements the dissected leaves of low altitude plants remained close to air temperatures, while the compact leaves of high altitude plants had the capacity to warm up substantially above air temperatures.
Abstract: Seeds collected from five Amaranthus dubius plants of the same population were weighed and tested in continuous light or darkness at three temperatures in controlled conditions.
Different seed families differed in weight, germination percentages and rate, and responded differently to an increase in temperature from 25 to 38 C. Plants derived from these seed families and grown outdoors, either singly or in mixtures, differed in several growth characteristics and in time to flowering.
