Wheat Taxonomy

Wheat Taxonomy

Classification of Triticum according to Schiemann 1948.

In its time, Schiemann's 1948 monograph [reference] was viewed as a modern monographic revision of Triticum. Its publication date was delayed by World War II, which also had a hand in diminishing the monograph's impact. This phylogenetic treatment closely follows Flaksberger with some changes in names. Schiemann's treatment separates the species into wild and domesticated groups with a further subdivision of the domesticated taxa into three categories of spelt (hulled), naked, and compact wheats. The classification is presented here in its original form with corrections in spelling and authority citations.
