Celosia, commonly known as coxcomb, is an ornamental plant with heights reaching up to 15 cm. This small African-origin genus has spread globally due to its adaptability in tropical regions that require warm, humid climates. Although the edible foliage of celosia tastes like spinach and is used as a food source in certain countries such as Indonesia and India, the plants are primarily grown for their colorful flowers. The scientific name celosia comes from Ancient Greek, meaning "burning," which refers to the vibrant hues of the blooms. Celosia coxcomb's ease of growth has led to increased consideration as a farm crop in areas where traditional crops struggle to thrive. Additionally, these plants possess medicinal properties, combating intestinal worms and mouth sores.
