Teosintes are solitary (single-stalked) annuals or spreading perennials. Annual species strongly resemble domesticated corn in their large terminal plumelike male inflorescences (the tassels). However, they differ in their small 5–12-seeded female ears, which are hidden in clusters in the leaf axils.
