A. hybridus is the wild progenitor of several cultivated amaranths: A. caudatus, A. cruentus (q.v.), A. hypochondriacus (q.v.). These plants are grown as ornamentals or for their grain, they do not exist in the wild, and are not weeds. A. patulus Bertoloni is a spreading form of A. hybridus.

There is continuing disagreement whether the correct name for the whole complex should be A. hybridus or A. cruentus. The situation appears to be inextricable
