Its peculiarly small round grains very closely agree in form and size with Buschan’s \*T. compactum globiforme\*, the naked-grained wheat, most commonly grown in various parts of Europe in Neolithic times, and it is possible that the race now confined to India is a remnant of an ancient stock.’ - [Previous: v1.c19.s7.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.randhawa-1980.v1.c19.s7.5) - [Next: v1.c19.s7.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.randhawa-1980.v1.c19.s7.7) - [Up: v1.c19.s7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.randhawa-1980.v1.c19.s7) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.randhawa-1980.v1.c19.s7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.randhawa-1980.v1.c19.s7.6) · Pramāṇa
