Celosia is a small genus of edible and ornamental plants in the amaranth family, Amaranths. The generic name is derived from the Ancient Greek, and refers to the flame-like flower heads. Species are commonly known as wool flowers, or, if the flower heads are crested by fascination, cockscombs. The plants are well known in East Africa’s highlands and are used under their Swahili name, Mfungu.
