'''''Iresine''''' is a [[genus (biology)|genus]] which have a number garden [[ornamental plant]]s in the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Amaranthaceae]]. These plants are found in the wild in tropical America, and there are between 20 and 25 [[species]]. However, only some species are usually cultivated because they have colored foliage, which is called bloodleaf.

Species include:

*''[[Iresine angustifolia]]'' Euph.
*''[[Iresine argentata]]'' (Mart.) D. Dietr.
*''[[Iresine diffusa]]'' Humb. et Bonpl. ex Willd. (= ''Iresine celosia, Iresine celosioides, Iresine canescens, Iresine paniculata'' (L.) Kuntze'', Iresine elongata'')
** ''[[Iresine diffusa lindenii|Iresine diffusa f. lindenii]]'' (=''Iresine lindenii'')
*''[[Iresine elatior]]''
*''[[Iresine flavescens]]'' Humb. et Bonpl. ex Willd.
*''[[Iresine grandiflora]]''
*''[[Iresine herbstii]]'' Hook. ex Lindl.
*''[[Iresine heterophylla]]'' Standl.
*''[[Iresine keyensis]]''
*''[[Iresine leptoclada]]'' (Hook. f.) Henrickson et Sundberg
* ''[[Iresine macrophylla]]'' [[R.E.Fr.]] (= ''Cruzeta celosioides'' ([[L.]]) [[M.Gómez]], ''Celosia paniculata'' [[L.]], ''Iresine celosioides'' [[L.]])
* ''[[Iresine polymorpha]]'' [[Mart.]]
*''[[Iresine palmeri]]'' (S. Wats.) Standl.
*''[[Iresine rhizomatosa]]'' Standl.

Some members of the genus are used as additives to some versions of the hallucinogenic drink [[Ayahuasca]].<ref>[http://www.serendipity.li/dmt/hoasca.html#tbl1 Ayahuasca Analogues]</ref>

 Because of ease of propagation, ability to withstand sun and shearing, and the bright colors, the iresines are amongst the most popular bedding - plants. Few plants are easier to grow. Stock plants are kept over winter in a cool temperature (as in a carnation house), and in February and March they are given more heat and moisture, and cut back, to get cutting wood. Cuttings root quickly in any good cutting-bed. For mass bedding, plants are usually set 6 to 10 inches apart. They will not withstand frost.

		+	Iresine (Greek name for a harvest garland wound with wool: the flowers and seeds of these plants are woolly). Amarantaceae. Achyranthes. Ornamental- leaved bedding plants.
		+
		+	Low, spreading, climbing or erect herbs or subshrubs: lvs. stalked, opposite, the margins not toothed in the domestic species: fls. very small, bracteate, in axillary or terminal panicles, perfect or imperfect (plants sometimes dioecious), the perianth of one series terete, 5- parted, with ovate-oblong segms.; stamens 5; style short or none, the stigmas 2 or 3: fr. a utriculus.—Species 20-25 in Trop. and Subtrop. Amer. Two or 3 species are in common cult, as bedding-plants, because of their highly colored lvs. and sts. The first of these to be intro. was described before the fls. were known and it was referred to Achyranthes (A. verschaffeltii), but in that genus the anthers are 2- loculed, whereas in Iresine they are 1- loculed. To gardeners they are still known as Achyranthes.

		+	Because of ease of propagation, ability to withstand sun and shearing, and the bright colors, the iresines are amongst the most popular bedding - plants. Few plants are easier to grow. Stock plants are kept over winter in a cool temperature (as in a carnation house), and in February and March they are given more heat and moisture, and cut back, to get cutting wood.
