Halepense [Andropb- gon JSalepensls). Others maintain these cultivated forms as varieties of a distinct species, Sorghum vul- gare {Andropogon Sorghum). The cultivated forms are annuals, with tall jointed stems, bearing large terminal panicles. They fall naturally into three groups, depend- ing upon their iises: (1) Broom Corn, in which the branches of the panicle are elongated and are thus adapted to the manufacture of brooms; (2) the Sugar or Saccharine Sorghums, with loose panicles, the branches drooping, and red-brown spikelets, cultivated for the sweet juice and for forage. Amber and Orange are leading forms of Sorghum. See Saccliarum. (3) The remaining varieties are grouped together as Non- Saccharine Sorghums. They are grown for forage and for the seed. Gn. 4, p. 83 (S. hicolor). The com- mon forms grown in this country and offered in the trade are: Kaffir Corn, with stems 4-5 feet high, stocky growth, and dense, upright panicles; Millo Maize, or African Millet, similar but about twice as tall; Durra (variously spelled Doura, Dhoura, etc.), including Egyptian Rice Corn, Guinea Corn, etc., with compact panicles on a recurved stalk. g Hitchcock. 2355.
