  • A new species of vegetable amaranth, Amaranthus parganensis Saubhik Das (Amaranthaceae), has been described from the lower Gangetic Plain of West Bengal, India. Its morphology and distributional range suggest that it is related to A. tricolor L., both adapted to tropical climate, having a sympatric distribution and similar ecology.
