Corn Sakharnaya, also mais lat. Zéa máys - an annual herbaceous cultivated plant, the only cultural representative of the genus

In addition to cultivated maize, the genus Corn includes four species - Zea diploperennis, Zea perennis, Zea luxurians, Zea nicaraguensis - and three wild subspecies of Zea mays: ssp. parviglumis, ssp. mexicana and ssp. huehuetenangensis. It is believed that many of these taxa played a role in the selection of cultural maize in ancient Mexico. Corn is believed to be the oldest cereal plant in the world.
