I found at least four variety names of the rice matched in the Dictionary of Sunda Language of Java. Even the descriptions are not detail, but at least I can get information about the color and 'beard'.

The four names are included as the "pare huma", the rice that grows in dry field! This is important evidence that Sundanese residents have been cultivating various types of rice in the past. Mostly, in the "huma" not "sawah".
