Thank you Promila Ji.

There is one *Amaranthus*, *A. polygamus*, which was known as CHAULAL in "An English Index to The Plants of India". The Plant List lists three, maybe more, *A. polygamus* - 1. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2633036 2. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2633037 3. http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-2633038 Can you please specifically identify the species in this thread?
