  1. Variables were ordered by absolute size of correlation within function.
  2. 1MSL, Maximum spike length; MNSC, Maximum number of spikelets per cm; MNFS, Maximum number of florets per spikelet; MOBL, Maximum outer bract length; MOBW, Maximum outer bract width; MMBL, Maximum middle bract length; MMBW, Maximum middle bract width; MIBW, Maximum inner bract width; MCL, Maximum calyx length.
  3. *Largest absolute correlation between each variable in respective function.
