In \*Gossypium arboreum\*, two types of perennial cotton were collected by Watt (1907). One of these groups of perennial cotton belonged to the race \*indicum\* of peninsular India. They were considered to be one of the primitive perennial forms. The so-called Rozi cottons are the cultivated forms of this perennial cotton. All the annual forms of \*Gossypium arboreum\* cultivated at present are the derivatives of these \*indicum\* perennials.
