ANOTHER PLANT WITH A ZIGZAG CULM 
The zigzag character does not appear in the early life of the plant, and only becomes apparent 
about the time the plant comes into tassel. Then there is a pulling away of the leaf sheathes from 
the culm, but the leaves themselves are otherwise normal. This plant shows three internodes 
that are no longer clasped by the leaf sheathes. (Fig. 9.)
