Triticum carthlicum
Also called Persian Black Wheat
Persian wheat is a tetraploid cereal grass grown as a field crop for its grain, which is used to make flour and bread. It is a field crop, not a houseplant, and is grown the way other wheats are, in cool-season open fields.
Triticum carthlicum Nevski, 1934, the Persian wheat, is a wheat with a tetraploid genome.
Some scholars refer to it as T. turgidum subspecies carthlicum. Recent research suggest that T. carthlicum originated from a cross between domesticated emmer wheat and T. aestivum.
