„ 11. Saccharum fuseum Roxb., copied from Roxburgh's drawings, Vol. II, 



No. 73. Note the distinct pedicels of both spikelets of each pair. 



12. Portion of rhizome of Saccharum Narenga showing the aerial culms 



developing from the terminal bud of the rhizome and as axillary shoots 

 from the basal nodes of older culms. The basal leaves have been 

 removed to show the internodes x 1/1. 



13. One-year culm of Saccharum Narenga with the basal leaves removed to 



show the short basal internodes. There are 13 internodes of which the 

 upper three, (a) — (a), are still soft and immature, (b), (b) scars of roots 

 which have been cut off, (c) an axillary bud, (d) scar from which an 

 axillary bud has been removed x 1/1. 



„ 14. Another one-year culm of the same species. There are 12 short basal 



internodes of which the upper two, (a), (a), are still soft and imma- 

 ture, (b), (b) root scars, (c), (c) axillary buds x 1/1. 



,> 15. Portion of rhizome of Saccharum Narenga (a), (a), young buds from 



which the scale-like outer leaves have been removed, (b) axillary bud 

 from which the basal 4 scale-leaves have been removed showing the 

 next two leaves with small lamina, 



(c) immature one-year culm with 12 short basal internodes the upper two- 

 of which are still soft and immature. 



(d) mature flowering culm with 8 short basal internodes x 1/1.
