 than the last, and differs from it only in having the spikes straight, 

 being generally of a larger size, and more productive. The great 

 weight of the seed when full grown, bends the spikes down into a 

 horizontal direction. A variety of this grows to a still larger size, 

 with a greater number of straight spikes. {Roxb.)
