52 THE WHEATS OF BALUCHISTAN 



with white grain (var. groenim Kcke. Class XLV) ; a fully bearded wheat with 

 smooth, red ohaflt and white gi-ain (var. erythroleucon Kcke. Class XXVIII) ; 

 a similar wheat with red grain {vslx. ferrugineicni A\. Class XXXIII), and a 

 wheat with partly bearded ears, rounded glumes, felted. ^\liite chaff and red 

 grain (var. Hostianum Clem. Class XXIII). 



17. Kamar (white and red). This is also grown on irrigated land. 

 The sample consisted of a mixture in almost equal parts of a fully bearded 

 wheat mth smooth, white chaff and red grain (var. erythrospermum Kcke. 

 Class XLIV) and a white wheat exactly like the main constituent of Spin. 

 There was also present in fair quantity the wheat resembling Spin Init with 

 longer awns and sharply keeled glumes (var, meridionale Kcke. Class XXYII). 

 Thus the samples of Kamar and Spin contained the same three constituents 

 but in varying proportions. There were also present as impurities in small 

 quantity : a fullv bearded wheat with smooth, white chaff and white grain 

 (var. fpaecum. Kcke. Class XLV) ; a fully bearded wheat with white, felted 

 chaff and red grain (var. Hostianum Clem. Class XXIII) : a fully bearded 

 wheat with red, smooth chaff and white grain (var. erythroleucon Kcke. 

 Class XXXVII), and a similar wheat with red grain (var. ferruginewn Al. 

 Class XXXV). 



18. Sara. This is grown on Ihushkdba land only and is used by the 

 poorer people. It is the fully bearded wheat with smooth chaff, red grain 

 and weak, pink straw (var. erythrospermum Kcke. Class XLIV), which forms 

 one of the constituents of both spin and kamar. There were also present as im- 

 purities in small quantity a similar wheat with white grain (var. graecum Koke. 

 Class XLV) ; a bearded wheat with smooth, red glumes and red grain 

 {vsLT.ferrnginemn Al. Class XXXIII), and a fully bearded wheat with felted 

 glumes and roui\d, red grain (var. Hostianum Clem. Class XXIII). 



A sample of wheat labelled Madar Ihushkdba was received from an un- 

 known district. This resembled the spin wheat of Pishin so closely that it is 

 probable it came from the Quetta-Pishin District. 



1<). M(id<(r khnshkdba. Three-quarters of the sample consisted of 

 spin wheat (var. meridionale Kcke. Class XXVIII), and there were present 

 in fair quantity a somewhat similar wheat but fully bearded and without 

 rounded glumes (var. meridionale Kcke. Class XXVI) and a fully bearded 

 wheat with smooth, white chaff and red grain (var. erythrospermum Kcke. 

 Class XLII). Tiiere were also present in small quantity a fully bearded 

 wheat with smooth, red chaff and white grain (var. erythroleucon Kcke.
