Abstract	The morphological variations (growth habit, leaf shape, leaf color, height, stem diameter, number of branches and internodes, leaf area, blade ratio, leaf thickness, number of leaves, and total leaf area) and protein content of 53 Indonesian amaranths (Amaranthus spp.), consisting of weedy-, vegetable-, and ornamental-types, were assessed. The extent of variation in the Indonesian Amaranthus accessions were compared with the worldwide collection (26 accessions from United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and 5 ornamentals from Nepal) in the experimental field of the University of Tsukuba, Japan. The variation in average values of most morphological traits and protein content in the Indonesian accessions were similar to those of the worldwide germplasm, but the important parameters that influence vegetable yield (e.g., number of leaves and stem diameter) were superior in the Indonesian accessions. Protein content showed a positive correlation with the number of leaves, whereas a negative correlation was observed with leaf thickness. The Indonesian accession of A. viridis and A. dubius showed a great potential to be further selected as parental lines for high protein content and number of leaves. The relatively high protein content of the leaves of Celosia may also potentially serve as an alternative protein source in the tropics.
