teosinte

i went to check for ears on the northern tepehuan teosinte...however, in a first in my experience, something or someone got there first...it was down on the ground and either browsed or cut with no eats ( or much of anything else ) in sight...so i pulled it and that gave me an opportunity to take a clear photo of the support roots ( third photo 0...the fourth photo is of the support roots on the zea diploperennis plant in the bottom photo...just another bit of morphology linking annual and perennial teosinte to maize.
