I think this should be G. celosioides. The head does not elongate that much in G. serrata. See following note:
*Gomphrena celosioides *similar to *G. serrata*, but the crests on bracteoles are short, irregularly dentate, and are just below the apex of the bracteoles (*cf* *G. serrata*, which has crests on 1/2 to full length of bracteoles). Also the rachis of *G. celosioides* tends to elongate at maturity (*cf* *G. serrata*, in which the rachis does not elongate).
