The centimetre (SI symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −2 metres ( 1 / 100 m = 0.01 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −2 m and 10 −1 m (1 cm and 1 dm). 1 cm – 10 millimeters; 1 cm – 0.39 inches; 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2
Grows to 2.5m tall, leaves are green, glaucous and relatively narrow (4–13 cm/1½-5 inches wide). The flowers are erect, yellow, relatively small (3–4 cm/1¼-1½inches long), composed of 9 coloured parts; sepals obtuse; petals reflexed; 4 staminodes, narrow (2-10mm/¼-½inch wide).
The United States retained the 1 / 39.37 -metre definition for surveying, producing a 2 millionth part difference between standard and US survey inches. [47] This is approximately 1 / 8 inch per mile; 12.7 kilometres is exactly 500,000 standard inches and exactly 499,999 survey inches.

About four inches (ten centimeters) at time of flowering, eventually becoming up to 18 inches (46 centimeters) in width by about half as long and weighing up to thirty pounds (up to 14 kilograms). [43] [44] [45] According to Aubreville, The capitulum can be up to 20 inches (51 centimeters) in width and up to 33 pounds (15 kilograms) in weight. [46]

Ribes thacherianum is an erect shrub growing to a maximum height around 2.5 meters (over 8 feet). The stems are coated in soft light hairs and bristles, and many of the stem nodes bear hard spines. The leaves are 2 to 3 centimeters (0.8-1.2 inches) long and shallowly divided into five dully toothed lobes. [4]
Thus, a horse that measures 60 inches is 15 hands high (15 × 4 = 60) and a horse halfway between 15 and 16 hands is 15.2 hands, or 62 inches tall (15 × 4 + 2 = 62) [5] [7] Because the subdivision of a hand is a base 4 system, a horse 64 inches high is 16.0 hands high, not 15.4. [2]
