. The botany of crop plants : a text and reference book. Botany, Economic. TEITICUM "3 T. polonicum (Polish wheat) is not a native of Poland, bul; occurs in Italy and Abyssinia in Africa. It is cultivated to some extent in this country. T. spella (spelt) is the oldest grain cultivated in Greece, Egypt, and the Roman Empire. It is of slight economic importance in the United States. T. dicoccum (emmer) is of some economic importance in this country, especially in the Western States. T. durum (durum) varieties are also known as "goose," "wild goose," and "macaroni" wheats. They are hard wheats, particularly adapted to the arid regions, where they are better yielders than aslivum Fig. 39.—Spikelets of the types of wheat, i, einkorn (Triticum monococ- cum); 2, spelt (T. spelta); 3, emmer (T. dicoccum); 4, common bread wheat (T. jestivum); s, club wheat (T. compactum); 6, durum wheat (T. durum); 7, Poulard wheat (T. turgidum); 8, Polish wheat (T. polonicum). About natural size. Durum wheat resembles barley. Its heads are the longest among the wheats. The grains are hard, glassy, often translucent and rather large. T. turgidum (Poulard wheat) is of little consequence in this country. The spikes are quadrangular or rectangular in cross-section. There is a tendency to form branching spikes, as in Alaskan and Seven-headed or Egjrptian varieties. Such varieties also go under such common names as Stoner, Miracle, Eldorado, Jerusalem, Many-headed, Many-spiked, Wild Goose, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Robbins, Wilfred William, 1884-1952.
