There are more than a dozen amaranth species in Florida; only three of them are native. This species, a native, is frequent in the brackish and freshwater marshes nearly throughout Florida (Wunderlin, 1998). It is also found in all other states of the southeast, except Georgia and South Carolina (Kartesz, 1999).
