Can anyone identify this plant? It came up in a germination cell that
should have been onions.

I'm thinking epazote, but I've never grown it before.

Looks to me like an Amaranthus (another genus in the same family as
epazote).

Just when I was getting used to Bacteria, Archaea, and Eucaryota,
someone slipped in a new (no I don't want to know how long that it has
been used) phylogenetic tree using clades(!??). When I go to the
Wikipedia site for Clades http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clade
I am told that, "This article may be confusing or unclear to readers."
Spiffy, another learning curve! Can't we just go back to Earth, Air,
Fire, and Water?

You're right Una it does look like amaranth. It's about 20 cm tall now.
The next 20 cm should tell the story.

Viele Dank.

Some type of pigweed (Amaranthus sp.) and a slightly anemic
looking specimen, at that.    Pigwweeds can be hard to ID down to
species without having the mature inflorescence to look at.

Would appreciate it if anyone could identify these please (the
daisy-like plant
below the marigolds) and the one with the ruler against
it.
Thanks
Les
