Sir, This plant (also in https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/EnGeFTQ2zd0/discussion) can be *Amaranthus hybridus*. But which one?
- in FoP<http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200006982>= 2-3 m high; petioles 15 cm, lamina 3-30x1.5-12 cm ....... - in FoC<http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200006982>= 30-50 cm; petiole 1-2.5 cm, leaf-blade/lamina 3-4.5 x 1.5-2.5 cm ....... !!! Though the scaled leaf in this thread shows obtuse apex, i think, acute leaves can be seen in the first pic. In the description of *A. caudatus* L., Flora of British India notes, "I find it very difficult to distinguish some states of this from *A. paniculatus*......" F. B. I. equates *A. caudatus* L. with *A. cruentus* WIlld., Roxb. ..... In the description of *A. cruentus* Willd. Flora Indica notes, "The leaves are very remarkable for being concave, like a spoon, either on the upper or under side......" The leaves of *A. paniculatus* in F. B. I. is 2-6 by 1-3 in. and petiole equally long. So, it seems to be *A. paniculatus* L. of the Bengal Plants<https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/uf3WH6Oo5wA/discussion>& F. B. I. = *Amaranthus cruentus* L. of FoC<http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242414702>= *Amaranthus hybridus* L. of FoP<http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200006982>!!!
