TRITON, but both grain and spike are longer. The calyx contains only two flowers, and the glumes are furnished with very long awns; the teeth of the midrib are bearded. As this sort is seldom sown in England, there is no telling what varieties it produces.—5. Triticum Spelta, spelt or German wheat. At first view this has a great resemblance to barley, but it has no involucre. The calyx is truncated; that is, it appears as if the ends were snapped off, and it contains four flowers, two of which are hermaphrodite and the glumes bearded, but the intermediate ones are neuter. There are two rows of grain as in barley, but they are shaped like wheat. It is much cultivated in France, Germany, and Italy. 6. Triticum monococcum, St Peter's corn, or one-grained wheat, has three flowers in each calyx alternately bearded, and the middle one neuter. The spike is shining, and has two rows of grain in the manner of barley. Where it grows naturally is not known, but it is cultivated in Germany; and in conjunction with spelt wheat is there made into bread, which is coarse, and not so nourishing as that made of common wheat. Malt made of any of our wheats is often put into beer, and a small quantity of it will give a large brewing a fine brown transparent tincture.
