According to Ram Dhan Singh, Vavilov concurred with Percival’s view. Ram Dhan Singh referred to the later extensive work of Ellerton, who made a world-wide collection of wheat species and cultivars, and says that though Ellerton’s collection did include a specimen of \*T. sphaerococcum\* derived from the Euphrates region of Iraq and Percival’s earlier collection included a sample from Iran, both are considered to be importations from India. It appears that Wimshurst (1920), who wrote a paper on wheats and barleys of Mesopotamia, held a similar view.⁷
