Cultivated Wheat - Triticum aestivum
Other Names:
Common Wheat, Bread Wheat
General Description
Cool season, annual bunchgrass. Stems 50–120 cm. Leaves: blades 5–15 mm wide, flat and lax to ascending; sheaths with overlapping margins; ligule membranous. Inflorescence 5–12 cm long, a two-sided terminal spike with short internodes; rachis continuous. Spikelets 1 per node, 10–14 mm long excluding awns, with 3 to 5 florets, glumes asymmetrically keeled, broad and blunt, often notched at the tip. Lemmas broad, also asymmetrically keeled, awned or awnless; palea well developed. Disarticulation above the glumes; unit of dispersal the fruit (Lavin in
