Wow! they look so similar ..... 1. *Amaranthus polygonoides* L.- http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:316348-2 2. *Amaranthus graecizans* L. - http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:10641-2 3. *Amaranthus graecizans* subsp. *thellungianus* (Nevski) Gusev - http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:874094-1 4. *Amaranthus blitoides* S.Watson - http://www.plantsoftheworldonline.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:10615-2
Then there is this info - "In North America the name *Amaranthus graecizans* has been constantly misapplied to the common North American taxa *A. albus* and *A. blitoides*....... <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=242415677>" So, (1) check distribution, (2) then, which one is edible, (3) which one is prostrate *But, most importantly, first check - how many tepals are there in pistillate flower - http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=101257#KEY-1-24 <http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=101257#KEY-1-24>* Thank you.
