*Triticum aestivum*, the common bread wheat, *T. durum*, the macaroni wheat, and *T. dicoccum*, the emmer wheat, are the three important species grown in India. *T. sphaerococcum*, which was cultivated in the past in the Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, has now gone out of cultivation and has been replaced by the more high-yielding bread and macaroni wheats. *T. compactum* was reported to have been cultivated in India (Howard, 1916).
