Photographs of the three grain species of Amaranthus grown on campus grounds. The plants from left to right are: A. hypochondriacus, A. cruentus, and A. caudatus, as identified by their taxonomic features including those of the inflorescence and the leaves. Amaranthus hypochondriacus contains both a red variety and a white variety (the sequenced one). Insets are the corresponding seeds obtained after two generations of growing these species on campus grounds. For A. hypochondriacus (left), the seeds from red plants are at the bottom left and those from white plants are shown at the top right.
