The fox tail plants (Amaranthaceae) are a family of the Bedecktsamer (Magnoliophyta).
Most kinds are krautige plants, it give also some bushes or trees.
The family is far common in the moderate zones as well as the subtropics and the Tropics. Many kinds are adapted to soils with relatively high Salzgehalt or occur in dry quilting and half desert areas.
Some kinds, as for instance the spinach (Spinacia oleracea) or culture forms of the carrot (beta vulgaris) (e.g. beet, Mangold), as vegetable plants are used. Further forms of beta vulgaris are the fodder carrot and the sugar beet. Of other kinds as for instance Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) or of Amaranthus kinds are used the seeds than replacement for grain (pseudo grain).
A group of kinds, which more than half of the kinds covers, was separated traditionally as an own family of goose foot plants (Chenopodiaceae). Molecular-biological investigations resulted in and suggested however a close relationship of the two traditionally differentiated families that the goose foot plants are paraphyletisch and only in the case of a combination with the Amaranthaceae in the closer sense a monophyletisches Taxon devoted. The oldest and thus valid scientific name of this extended Taxons is Amaranthaceae.
The family has 174 kinds with approximately 2050 kinds in the extended version.
