The culms are not usually as tall, and the percentage of straw to grain is less than that of wheat. Barley produces rather more culms per plant than wheat, under favorable conditions produc- ing as many as 15 or more per plant. The leaves are some- what broader than those of the other cereals. The more marked characters that distinguish it from wheat are the arrangement and structure of the spikelets and the shape.
