Otliers 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 uses: (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.
