Pod corn or wild maize is a variety of maize (corn).[1][2] It is not a wild ancestor of maize but rather a mutant that forms leaves around each kernel.[3]
Pod corn (tunicata Sturt) is not grown commercially, but it is preserved in some localities.[4]
Pod corn forms glumes around each kernel which is caused by a mutation at the Tunicate locus. Because of its bizarre appearance, pod corn has had a religious significance to certain Native American tribes.[5]
