hi oujloid, welcome to JungleDragon!

I saw you requested for the species "Amaranth" to be created. Unfortunately, that's not specific enough. Amaranth is a genus, not a single species. Posted 10 years ago

With the help of dragonc we think this might be the species Amaranthus Cruentus. Posted 10 years ago

''Amaranthus cruentus'' is a flowering plant species that yields the nutritious staple amaranth grain. It is one of three ''Amaranthus'' species cultivated as a grain source, the other two being ''Amaranthus hypochondriacus'' and ''Amaranthus caudatus''.
