An "indeterminate growth" character,
apparently the third recorded, segregated in two rows of first generation selfs
from a single ear of a farmer's open‑pollinated, yellow dent variety from
Pocahontas County, West Virginia. Plants were pale green in early stages, grew
tall with 26 or more short nodes, developed eight or more series of brace
roots, and tasseled (in transplants from field to greenhouse) in November. No
ear shoots appeared under these conditions. A limited amount of seed from first
and second selfed generations of the parent line is available.
