1 7 to continue their worthy efforts towards enlarging their collections and the recording of the description and identification of canes. 4. That those desiring information on these canes correspond directly with those responsible for the gardens- (Java-the Proefstation voor de Java- Suikerindustrie, Pasoeroean, Java; and Puerto Rico-the Sugar Plant Investigations Division of the United States Department of Agriculture, Arroya, Puerto Rico, or Washington, D. C.) 5. That the Society approve the action of the chairman in forwarding to the Sugar Plant Investigatipns Division of the United States Department of Agriculture the many papers on the activities of this committee in the past and the detailed, but somewhat questionable, data on cane varieties from several countries gathered by the chairman, for their use or disposal as they may see fit to do. 6. That the Secretary of the Society send a copy of this report to these institutions, together with an expression of appreciation for the work they have done. Dr. Ernst Artschwager presented an abstract of his paper entitled "Relative Usefulness and Variability of Vegetative Characters in Sugarcane Taxonomy." ABSTRACT RELATIVE USEFULNESS AND VARIABILITY OF VEGETATIVE CHARACTERS IN SUGARCANE TAXONOMY ERNST ARTSCHWAGER Pathologist, Division of Sugar Plant Investigations Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture Washington, D. C. i In the concluding chapter of the general sugarcane morphology written as a sequel to the anatomy and cytology by the author, an attempt is made to evaluate certain vegetative characters from the standpoint of their usefulness in taxonomic description of sugarcane varieties. The conclusions are deduced partly from facts accumulated by various workers in the field, especially those of the Java station, and partly from knowledge gained in working over the large collection of original importations of the Division of Sugar Plant Investigations of the United States Department of Agriculture. Stability of vegetative characters is only relative, for a character which appears fixed in one variety shows great fluctuation in another. Abnormal environmental conditions may intensify normal variability or they may have little or no effect, depending on whether a given character is conservative, of more or less ancient origin, or a more recent adaptation.-abstract.

2 PAPER lllustrated OUTLINE FOR USE IN TAXONOMIC DESCRIPTION OF SUGARCANE VARIETIES Pathologist, Division of Sugar Plant Investigations Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture Washington, D. C. The outline recommended is an adaptation of the variety questionnaire by the International Society of Sugar Cane Technologists. Its scope has been broadened and details have been added to facilita~e the comparative study of character variations within a certain group or collection. Of assistance is the incorporation of illustrations of type characters such as ligule, dewlaps and auricles. These illustrations not only simplify the taking of notes but often serve to refresh one's memory in the salient points of sugarcane morphology. If possible, all characters should be studied and illustrations prepared from fresh material. In noting the color of the stalk, mature and exposed internodes which have not yet become faded should be used. The color of the flesh in a freshly-made cross section soon changes and should be recorded immediately. Only fully developed eyes should be chosen for comparison, preferably those coming from beneath matured leaves which are still attached to the plant. The dewlap pattern characteristic of the variety shows most clearly in mature or almost fully grown leaves; because of a general tendency in cane leaves toward asymmetry, only the dewlaps on related sides should be compared. ~uricies attain their full size early but they also deteriorate soon; for this reason, descriptions should be made from relatively young material. Hair groups on leaf blade, leaf sheath, and prophyllum should be studied on both young and old organs because there occur varieties in which certain hairs are deciduous while others attain greater prominence in the mature organ. The epidermis should be stripped by heating parts of leaves or stalk in concentrated nitric acid. The blade epidermis strips rather readily and care should be taken not to prolong the treatment; the epidermis of the stem Stalk Structures. is more resistant and often requires prolonged

In a discussion brought up by Mr. Rosenfeld regarding the proper term to use in describing certain discolorations or mottled areas that occur regularly on

14 the rind of some cane varieties, Dr. Brandes said the condition is not a pathological one and that the discolorations appear as if the waxy surface had not developed. The rind has a roughened velvety surface instead of a smooth glossy feeling. He said he had never seen it until it appeared in a group of native canes from New Guinea, and there, in a half-dozen or more in a collection of 1000, the entire internode seemed to be involved, and the stalk, though healthy and full of juice, looked on the surface like an old, dead cane. Mr. Bregger mentioned that the blotching is one way of recognizing B.H. 10 (12). Dr. Artschwager stated that some people have not paid much attention to Jeswiet's hair groups but he found them intriguing. Hair groups are not helpful unless the quantity is great enough to be outstanding. For classification the upper epidermis of the leaf is more valuable than the lower. Dr. McIntosh asked if it is the intention of this paper to standardize descriptions and to use the given numbers throughout. Dr. Artschwager replied that he attempted to standardize it for people to use who are making descriptions, so each would know what the other means. Whether it is desirable to use Jeswiet's numbers is a question. For some varieties they are very useful but in other cases not so important. In the structure of the epidermis of the stem they are useful. These descriptions are not for a practical field man to use but for the technically trained person who makes crosses and who wants to compare varieties and trace relationships. ASSEMBLING AND EVALUATING WILD FORMS OF SUGARCANE AND CLOSELY RELATED PLANTS E. W. BRANDES, Principal Pa2hologist in Charge G. B. SARTORIS, Senior Pathologist and C. 0. GRASSL, Assistant Botanist Division of Sugar Plant Investigations, Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture Washington, D. C. INTRODUCTION The process of improving sugarcane varieties by crossing wild cane, usually small and of unprepossessing appearance, with the larger, better-looking cultivated canes has come to be known as nobilization of the wild cane. The successful efforts to increase yields of sugar by this means is a relatively recent achievement of workers in the Netherlands East Indies and British India. The success of these attempts has focused attention upon this method and similar attempts are being made in other parts of the world. It is obvious that improvement of wild plants by selection is almost as old as mankind and essentially there is no novelty in the idea of nobilization except that it is a pause to reach back and
