Teosinte Plant in Bulletin 102 Kansas Station
Teosinte, native to Mexico and thought by some botanists to be the original of Indian corn, is described as an annual resembling corn but with jointed spikes in leaf axils instead of ears. In the United States it rarely flowers and seeds only in south Florida or near the Gulf coast. it is cultivated in the southern states as forage, capable of very high yields under favorable conditions, but Kansas conditions limit its usefulness compared to corn, sorghum, or Kaffir corn.
