Weeds. 126 AMARANTHACEAB {AMARANTH FAMILt) have a one-celled, one-seeded ovary with two to five plume- like stigmas. The small, shining seed drops from its place while still enclosed in an egg-shaped, valveless, and tubereulate utricle, which makes it buoyant and easily distributed by wind and water. (Fig. 78.)

JUBA'S BUSH Iresine panicul&ta, Ktze. Other English name: Blood-leaf. Introduced. Annual. Propagates by seeds. Time of bloom: July to September. Seed-time: August to October. Range: Ohio to Kansas, and south- ward to the Gulf of Mexico. Habitat: Dry fields, meadows, and waste places. A very conspicuous weed because of its white flowers and the red color which the foliage often assumes. It is a native of tropical America and seems to have a preference for sterile, sandy, or gravelly soils, into which its roots bore deeply, appropriating an undue share of the little food and moisture available. Stem erect, furrowed, swollen at the nodes, slender, branching, two to five feet in height. Leaves opposite, narrowly ovate, long-pointed, be- coming lance-shape near the top, smooth and entire, with short, slen- der petioles. Flowers in large termi- nal, branching, nearly leafless panicles,.
