awned / unawned wheat (ears)
Explanation:
aristat şi nearistat - cu ariste şi fără ariste

Awns are characteristic of many grasses (Poaceae), where they extend from the lemmas of the florets. They often make up the hairy appearance of the grass synflorescence. Awns may be long (several centimeters) or short, straight or curved, single or multiple per floret. Some genera are named after their awns, such as the three-awns (Aristida).

Spelt aka Large Spelt:
hexaploid hulled wheat with both winter and spring varieties. It's particularly hardy and can withstand both frosts and snow in the growing season.
awned or unawned medium to long ears of very widely spaced spikelets.
glumes square-tipped.

awned, bearded/awnless wheat


Explanation:
Este vorba despre acele prelungiri liniare, uneori înţepătoare, numite ariste, ale frunzuliţelor care protejează floarea şi mai apoi fructul la unele specii de graminee. La grâu, există grupe de soiuri cu aristă (aristate) şi grupe de soiuri fără aristă (nearistate)

Wheat can be divided into two groups, with awns or bristles, or without awns.
