Early Chinese Rice

Abstract

AN unusually detailed account of the discovery and utilisation of a ‘sport’ occurs on page 470 of the 1859 edition of an English translation of “The Chinese Empire,” by Monsieur Hue. The account may be of interest to agriculturists and geneticists. The book is not often met with, and indeed I have had no opportunity of consulting the French original.
