Culture
- We have very little information on this species, it probably requires a well drained soil in a sunny position and should be tolerant of clay since it favours clay soils in the wild .
- This species is believed to have hybridized with primitive forms of Triticum spp (Wheat) to produce some of the more modern Triticum spp .
- It could, therefore, be of value in wheat breeding programmes .
- It grows successfully at Kew, setting seed even in cool summers [K].

Excellent and very comprehensive, though it contains a number of silly mistakes. Readable yet also very detailed.
