" Liberian " is Wray's Koom- bana, tbe present Sumac; " Regular sorgo " is tbe Chinese variety; and " Neeazana " is the original form of Orange. line by inserting a number of recently developed saccharine varieties, many of which were local strains that never became generally grown and are not now identifiable. These two classifications were made on a natural basis, and if fuller and more definite would be fairly usable, though wrought out from confessedly imperfect material and insuffi- cient field study and including only a limited number of forms, of which all except one were sorgos. Koernicke (1885) presented the first attempted classification of the cultivated forms of the whole world. He recognizes them as com- prising a single species Andropogon sorghum (L.) Brot, and dis- poses them in twelve varieties, grouped into two sections, Effusus and Contractus, referring to the habit of the panicle. 175.
