sand, and later transferred to soil. Good roots were secured, 
and a considerable expansion of the leaves and elongation of the 
internodes, but I am inclined to doubt whether any new leaves 
were laid down. One of these rooted spikelets produced three 
stigmas, “silks,” an additional abnormality in the staminate 
inflorescence. 
Such chloranthy or vivipary has sometimes been observed in 
Zea Mays. Perhaps some one finding it again may be so for- 
tunate as to get good vegetative propagations. Possibly the 
technique adopted in my attempts was not adequate, but a wide 
series of experiments could not be made.
