If the characters which distinguith Triticum Compaq 
turn Host from Triticum vulgare Host are to be consi¬ 
dered one must needs agree with the views of be- 
rimger, Metzger, Tshemiaev, HeuzO, and othem> 
and consider Tr. compactum Host as a subspecies of soft 
wheat Tr , vulgate VilL and not as a taxonomical unity 
of equal value with Tr. vulgare VilL, for which it has 
been recognized by Alefeld, KOrnicke, .Hacked 
Richter. Aseherson and* others. There are analo¬ 
gical groups of pygmy wheat among y 
1) hard wheat, na'meny: Tr. durum Desf. dur 0 -com-
