 for 1910-11. Commonly a weak plant with thinner prostrate or 

 partially ascending steins and smaller leaves, but similar as 

 regards period of maturity, shortness of nodes, pubescence,

Stems short, stout, upright ; secondary branches short,

 and pods covered with tawny pubescence. Flowers white, 6 to 

 7 mm. long, sessile in short racemes. Pods 1 to 3 together. 

 Seeds brown, 8 to 10 mm. long, by 6 to 8 mm. broad, oval not 

 flattened, germ }^ellow. Seeds contained 572 per cent, nitrogen 

 and 20'04 per cent. oil. 



This type has a short, stout, upright stem varying in length 

 from 6 to 15 inches, the branches are few and short, the lower 

 branches! not exceeding 6 inches in length and the upper beino-

 Sixty-five plants of the general crop of this variety in 1911 

 produced seed at the rate of 5 grams per plant only. The seed 

 grown at Kalimpong weighed 24 '4 grams per 100 seeds, while 

 that grown at Sabour was shrivelled and pitted and only weighed 

 12*8 grams per 100. 



This type was obtained from Kalimpong and was tested at 

 Sabour in 1911. It is listed as variety 6 by Goodwin in the
