Amaranthaceae is a family of flowering plants commonly known as the amaranth family, in reference to its type genus '' Amaranthus''. It includes the former goosefoot family Chenopodiaceae and contains about 165 genera and 2,040 species, making it the most species-rich lineage within its parent order, Caryophyllales.

In some species, the leaves are reduced to minute scales. In most cases, neither basal nor terminal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
