Corn

Sweet corn (Latin Zea mays L. ssp. mays or Zea saccharata Sturtev[1]) — the only cultural representative of sort corn (Zea L.) families Cereals (Poaceae). In addition to cultural corn, the sort Zea includes four look — Z. diploperennis, Z. perennis, Z. luxurians, Z. nicaraguensis — and three wild-growing subspecies of Z. mays: ssp. parviglumis, ssp. mexicana and ssp. huehuetenangensis. It is considered that many of the called taxons played role in selection of cultural corn in ancient Mexico.
