× Aegilotriticum
Nothogenus of plants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
× Aegilotriticum is a nothogenus of flowering plants in the family Poaceae. They are the result of crosses between species of two distinct grass genera, Aegilops (goatgrasses) and Triticum (wheat). This type of intergeneric hybridization is quite rare, and is indicated by a multiplication symbol before the name. The name Aegilotriticum is an example of a portmanteau word, a combination of the two parents' names. This genus has at least 7 species.[2]
