Gomphrena globosa, Linn. Globe Amaranth. Bachelor's Button. Height 18 in. or less: lvs. elliptic to obovate, the largest 4 in. long, 1 ½ in. wide, tapering to a petiole. July. B.M. 2815. R.H. 1890, p. 522. F.R. 1:333. The following names of horticultural varieties indicate the range of color: vars. alba, aurea, carnea, nana compacta (syn. alba) purpurea, striata, violacea. Dwarf and compact forms are likely to be associated with any color. There is a narrow-lvd. form of this species which Voss calls G. haageana, Klotzsch (G. aurantiaca, Hort. G coccinea, Decne.), which has lanceolate lvs., often 6 times as long as broad. The lvs. are rarely ½ in. wide.
