. A classification of the cultivated varieties of barley ... Barley. 430 Roy Glen Wiggans Selection 808.— Foliage medium green; culms rather short, coarse; erect in early habit of growth; spikes emerging from side of leaf sheath, late in maturity; spikes very dense and erect; grain black, long, narrow; lemma black, free from caryopsis, hooded; five nerves of lemma con- spicuous, lateral nerves barbed; base of lemma cross-creased; rhachilla beset with long, straight hairs. Original specimen unnamed. HORDEUM INTERMEDIUM Hordeum intermedium (fig. 68) is similar to H. vulgare in most characters. It may be briefly described as follows: Nodes of rhachis solidified; spikes nodding and lax in most cases; spikelets arranged in groups of three at each node of rhachis, all sessile, all fertile, median spikelet awned (fig. 51, C, and D, and fig. 68) or hooded (fig. 69), lateral spikelets neither awned nor hooded; grain of lateral spikelets one-half to two-thirds as large as grain of median spikelets; grain varying in color and in adherence of lemma to ABC 'FiG. 68. TYPES OF HORDEUM INTERMEDIUM A, Arlington Awnless; B, South African Nepal Hulless; C, S. P. I. 40326.
