Tasselate tips and glumes

-- [ From: nonayobusiness * EMC.Ver #2.3 ] --

I may be thinking  of other words, but I think that what they mean b term 
#1 is that the top end of the ear of corn  doesn't develop all the way, and
instead of kernels,  when you open it up, the silk is there, with
undeveloped kernels...As far  as the second term, I think that glumes are 
part of the structure of the flower  mechanism of grasses, which I THINK
corn is one.  More than that,  I wouldn't venture to say,  (for fear of
really making a fool out of myself!)  _Lauren  B. Z.  6  NY
