Label source: Grown on newly-cut jungle land on hill tracts in Chittagong. For report and analysis of this rice see Kew Bulletin for Oct,1892 p. 232. 46 July 14th 1915. Lady Church. Museum, June 20,1892. Dear Prof. Church, I Send you a sample of Black ri, ce just recieved from Dr Prain of Calcutta who suggests that you 'may like to look at it'. We do not seem to have had quite the same thing in the museum previously. The sample need not be returned as I have quite sufficient for museum purposes. Faithfully, Yours John R. Jackson. Prof. Church F.R.L. Black Burmese rice (Kali Bayni Jooma Choul) grown on newly cut jungle land yearly by Joomah Mughs in Chittagong Hill tracts. This paddy is sown in April and cut in October and is much more glutinous and nutritio, us than ordinary rice or the Black Bayni of the Bengalis also grown in Chittagong. Presented by Mr W.S.E. Laudale to the Agri. & Horticultural Society of India.
