Abstract


The earhead of Eleusine coracana is a terminal whorl of digitate spikes radiating from the apexof a culm.Each of the spikes consists of two rows of sessile spikelets.The spikelets usually contain 5 to 10 glumes each, of which the two lower-most are barren and the rest are paleate,each enclosing a complete flower.When the grains set and develop.they peep out of the glume and present the seriate appearance characcteristic of this earhead.
