Narrative
The seeds are white and pink, flowers green and pink, leaves green and rufescent. The RRC class type is Nepal, South American. This was originally a mix of A. caudatus and A. hypochondriacus. In the field A hypochondriacus was leaning, lodged and did not mature. In the greenhouse A. caudatus had drooping green flowers and green leaves. Observations from the Rodale Research Center, 1988 Rodale Amaranth Germplasm Catalog. Emmaus, PA. Kauffman, in 1986, observed: 1.5m tall, mix of white and red flowers, seeds white mixed with some pink.
