Sir, What i understand about *Celosia* is that it has two forms, one with crested or feathery spike, it is called *C. argentea* var. *cristata* (*C. cristata*) and the other is without crest or feathery top, known as *C. argentea* var. *spicata* (*C. spicata*).
So, i agree with Dinesh Ji and would request Gurcharan Sir to correct me if my understanding is wrong. Thank you, Regards, surajit On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 9:01 PM, J.M.
