Barley. 416 Roy Glen Wiggans The only interest in this type from an economic standpoint lies in the possibility of its being the ancestor of some if not all of the cultivated barleys. HORDEUM VULGARE Hordeum vulgare L.

Another important difference between the two is found in the fertility of the spikelets. In H. vulgare all three spikelets at each node of the rhachis are fertile, thus forming six rows of fertile spikelets instead of two. The species may be briefly described as follows:.
