Narrative
Approximately 250 plants, very much past ripeness (exceptionally dry year in this region), the husks tattered from bird predation, but some seeds still in husks, especially where leaf sheaths and husk have been entwined by an ubiquitous purple Ipomea. Seeds gathered by shaking seeds out over a plastic sheet, over 1 kilogram gathered by two people in about 2 hours. Plants very variable in appearance: a) Completely free of long slender lateral branches (i.e. unbranched) and very slender themselves, to 2.5 m tall if growing in densest thickets with much shade and intense competition from tall herbs (Tithonia, etc.). b) Robust and branched above, with 3-7 lateral branches, if initially shaded in their lower protions (during early growth) and in competition with shorter plants. c) Branched, with 7 to 9 branches from very base if growing in among the maize plants and free of shading, here to only 1.2 m tall (i.e. branching quite dependent on whether plants open grown or shade grown). Plants here all strictly annual, without any rhizomes. No F1 seen or any evidence of hybridization.
