Narrative
The seeds are white, flowers marbled, leaves variegated. The RRC class type is: Mexican. It had a small main head with side branches the same height as the central head. Observations from the Rodale Research Center, 1988 Rodale Amaranth Germplasm Catalog. Emmaus, PA. 1985 regenerated from 80F seed produced pink and marbled flowers and some brown seed. Probably used medicinally, with inflorescences in tea or bath water.
