Abstract
A CONSIDERABLE number of Saccharum × Sorghum hybrids have been produced at this Station during the breeding seasons of 1933–35. The accompanying photograph (Fig. 1) shows seed germinating in the influorescence of a hybrid between the sugar cane variety P.O.J. 2725 and Guinea corn (Sorghum vulgare). The plant and panicle were both standing upright when the condition was observed, and the plantlets had wilted, presumably from lack of moisture and nourishment.
