- EPPO code: AMACH
- Preferred name: Amaranthus hybridus
- Authority: Linnaeus
Tropical and subtropical regions of America. Widespread as a weed in warmer parts of the world
WSSA list of weeds in North America.
A. hybridus is the wild progenitor of several cultivated amaranths: A. caudatus, A. cruentus, 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.
Amaranthus patulus Bertoloni is a spreading form of A. hybridus. Some authors have kept it distinct, but it is now generally synonymized with A. hybridus. Other authors regard it as synonymous with A. cruentus. This only makes sense if A. cruentus is taken as a broad name, encompassing A. hybridus.
