7-8-34 branches of the spike-like inf. Toward the base just the stamens? (sometimes they definitely) bare and visible between groups of branches. The main “tassel” often has several slender auxiliary tassels near its base. Sepals oblate, sharply tipped and obtuse, then the almost smooth fruit (SUTII says about as long as the fr.). Bracts perhaps 1/2 again as long as the sepals but not long enough to give the inf. the prickly look of A. reflexus. Acc. to P.B.K.’s memory 10-6-32; 10-13-32 and 7-18-34 (laps 10-6-32 and 7-18-34) had not the same effect on him. Low green, much like leaf of A. reflexus but of a clearer green, not crisped on edges, and broadest nearer the base (somewhat? effect) 9-8-34? Amaranthus paniculatus L. B.MJCP 252. & 372, Coste III 172, SUTII 98 = A. hybridus L. asp. Crenatus Thellung var. paniculatus Thellung SUTII 222, FL & fr. Villeneuve Drump. (P.B.K. queries whether the plant collected 9-8-34 at same place and thought to be A. caudatus was not same as one or the other of these two specimens). “A.” St. not glabrous but decidedly less hairy than in A. reflexus. Its rhomboid being widest shortly below the middle looked beneath, dull green (with purple spot in center) above, sharper pointed than in A. ret- and edges not crisped. Inf as ill (Coste) fr #3062 or #3064. the spikes of inf erect when collected.
