Abstract
AMONG some maize plants (Sutton's White Horse Tooth) originally planted in connexion with other work, there appeared one which bore anomalous male flowers the morphology of which may be worth recording. In the tassel of this plant, in a considerable number of cases, the lower flowers in each spikelet possessed only two stamens; sections showed that often both flowers in the spikelet were abnormal.
