[Direct identification of Celosia argentea from its confused species by FTIR].
OBJECTIVE
To directly and accurately identify Celosia argentea L. from its confused species.


METHODS
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrum.


RESULTS
Obvious characteristics for the identification in FTIR were revealed, which can be used to identify Celosia argentea L. and its confused species, such as Celosia cristata L., Amoranthus retroflexus. A. tricolor L. and A. patulus Bertol.


CONCLUSIONS
Celosia argentea L. and its confused species were identified by FTIR directly, fastly and accurately.
