Description of thr Types, 

 (ri'ovjt I. Ta/I pi Hut s irit/i loiuj inft'i'nodcx. 



Five types (Nos. I to V) are compiised in this group which 

 is well defined bj^ the habit. The height of the plants is due to 

 two ffietors : (1) the length of the internodes ; (2) the open and 

 extended nature of the inflorescence which forins nearly half the 

 plant. Not onl}?' are the secondar}^ branches of the inflorescence 

 arranged in an open manner, but the flowers are somewhat distant 

 from one anothei\ Tj-pes I to IV are about the same height 

 (135 to 142cms. ), but type V, although agreeing in habit with 

 this group, approximates in height somewhat to tj'pes VI k 

 VII of the next group. 



Types I & V are easily difterentiated from the rest, the 

 former b}^ the shape of its leaves and structure of the flower ; 

 the latter bj- its height, small leaves and shape of the inflores- 

 cence leaves. Types II, III k IV are much alike, especiall}^ III 

 & IV. Type II may be distinguished from the other two by the 

 slenderness of the plant, flatness of the leaves and habit of the 

 inflorescence. T^^pe IV is later, coarser and stouter than type III,
