Oryza. hexandria digynia. 



sort is generally sown broad-cast, where it is to grow ; it 

 requires little water, and of course is most cultivated on 

 the higher lands that cannot command constant and re- 

 gular supplies of water. 



6th. Suma-waree the plant, and Sumaloo the grain. 

 This is a small grain, of a dark colour, but the husked rice 

 is white, and tolerably fine. It yields but a small pro- 

 duce, and is not much cultivated. It has no awn. 



7th. Kartee-waree the plant, smd Kartikaloo the grain. 

 This sort is much cultivated, to a greater extent than all 

 the other early sorts put together. It has no awn, the grain 

 is of a middling size, brownish coloured ; the rice when 

 husked for the table is tolerably fine and white. It does 

 not require a great deal of water. 



8th. Gouree-waree the plant, and Gowree-kunkaloo the 

 grain. This is the finest of the early sorts, the grain has 

 no awn, and is of a pale purplish colour, and the husked 

 rice is fine and white. 



There are many other sorts belonging to this division, 

 but as I have not had an opportunity of examining them, 

 I say nothing further about them. 



Division Second, or Pedda Worloo. 



Xst. Atagadal-waree the plant and Ata-gadaloo the 

 grain ; of this sort a large proportion is cultivated, pro- 

 bably as much as of all the other sorts put together. It is 

 without avvn,the unhusked and husked rice are both white, 

 ^nd of an excellent quality ; it requires much water. 



2nd. Yerra-suna-waree the plant, and Yerra Sunaloo 

 the grain. The unhusked and prepared rice is white, and of 

 a very superior quality, no arista, grain long and slender 



3rd. Kosa-waree the plant, and Ko arloo the grain. 

 The grain is of a light yellowish brown colour, small, awn- 

 less, and the cleansed rice, white, and tolerably fine ; it 

 requires but little water, and is little cultivated.
