40969. " Type No. 25. Var. albidum Al. Ears beardless, often 

 slightly- bearded ; spikelets pointed, outer glumes long and pointed ; 

 chaff smooth, yellowish white, shiny, with very slight reddish bor-

 the other white wheats ; on the whole soft ; ear length 100 mm. ; 

 D.= 20; straw very strong; ears erect. This type was found in 

 Buggi of Leiah and Safed Ghoni. These two types, 24 and 25, 

 differ in appearance so much from all the other wheats of the 

 Punjab and bear such a strong resemblance to the Australian 

 wheats introduced into the province that we can not help suspect- 

 ing that they originally came from Australia."
