It is very much like maize in gen- eral appearance and in the structure of the fls., but differs in not forming an ear, the slender iointed spikes being free from one another. By many botanists it is considered the original form of maize. It is known to catalogues as Eeana hixurians, Dur., but is properly Euchlmna Mexic&na, Schrad., for the botany of which see 6414, where the plant is called Euchhana lux- urians. The plant is pictured in Bull. 14, Div. of Agrost., U. S. Dept. of Agric, and in Farmers' Bulletin No. 102, from which a few points are here abstracted.
