Apart from a number of amendments to the botanical names of the plant varieties so as to bring them into line with those recognised internationally, the new Schedule 1 introduces new agricultural crop kinds triticale, rescue grass and Alaska brome-grass and new vegetable kinds Chinese cabbage and gourd.
