It's a Celosia. This type with the pointed cylindrical spike has been known as Celosia spicata, but I think the current view is that it's a strain of the variable C. argentea. The more popular Cristata (Cockscomb) and Plumosa types belong to this same species but are mutant forms, just like broccoli is a mutant form of cabbage. This Spicata type is closer to the wild form. I have sometimes seen it sold as a cut flower.
