Glass Gem Corn – Visual Art Collection

Poaceae Zea mays is the botanical family, genus, and species name for Glass Gem Corn. Poaceae Gramineae, commonly known as the grass family, evolved Zea mays from a cultivated annual grass originating in Mexico. By the time Carl Barnes found the volunteer maize in his Oklahoma field, this grass had developed into stalk-like plants with a variety of unique seeds.
