An illustrated flora of the An illustrated flora of the northern United States, Canada and the British possessions : from Newfoundland to the parallel of the southern boundary of Virginia and from the Atlantic Ocean westward to the 102nd meridian ed2illustratedflo02brit Year: 1913 6. Amaranthus graecizans L 1753- Tumble-weed. Fig. 1664. Amaranthus graeciaans L. Sp. PI. Amaranthus albus L. Sp. PI. Ed. 2, 1404. 1763. Glabrous, pale green, stem erect, bushy- branched, whitish, 6-2° tall, the branches slen- der, ascending. Leaves oblong, spatulate or obovate, i'-ii' long, slender-petioled, papil- lose, the midvein excurrent; flowers polyga- mous, several together in small axillary clusters shorter than the leaves, commonly not longer than the petioles; bracts subulate, pungent- pointed, spreading, much longer than the 3 membranous sepals: stamens 3; utricle wrinkled, circumscissile, longer than the sepals. In waste and cultivated soil, throughout North America, except the extreme north. The leaves fall away in autumn, and on the western plains the plant, thus denuded, is freely uprooted and blown before the wind, whence the popular name. June-Sept.
