cockscomb

Celosia cristata is the well known Cockscomb, having combs or heads of scarlet, crimson, rose and yellow.

Getting tired, I took out my sketch-book and drew Lubuga, the pet, which amused the king immensely as he recognised her cockscomb.

His hair was cut short, with the exception of a ridge on the top which ran stem to stern, like a cockscomb.

If an unmodified Celosia could be got, it would be well to test with the modified cockscomb.

The wild cockscomb (Amaranthus Cruentus) also furnished a portion of their supply.
