It may be pointed out that the unicellular hairs aresomewhat shorter than in wheat. In maize (Indian corn) the envelopes are two in num-ber ; the external consists of several superimposedlayers of flattened elongated cells, and the internal ofa layer of cells of irregular size and shape, but other-wise resembling the internal layer of wheat. What isvery characteristic, however, about maize is that thecellular network, which holds the starch granules, in.
