Barley (Hordeum vulgare), a member of the grass family, is a major cereal grain grown in temperate climates globally. It was one of the first cultivated grains ; it was domesticated in the Fertile Crescent around 9000 BC, giving it nonshattering spikelets and making it …

Hordeum spontaneum, a weedy plant commonly found throughout the fertile crescent region of the Near East. However, there is evidence to suggest that Hordeum agriocrithon, discovered in 1938 in Tibet, may be a closer ancestor to modern cultivated barley (Harlan, 1974). Both of these regions have long histories of farming barley crops. Adaptation

It resembles common barley (Hordeum vulgare) which is an annual usually confined to cultivated areas. Meadow barley is upright, while its closest relative, California barley, is shorter and more spreading.

The genus Hordeum, the barleys, comprises a group of grass species, the most economically and socially important of which is the cultivated form, Hordeum vulgare, which is the fourth most widely grown cereal after wheat, rice, and maize.

The meaning of HORDEUM is a widely distributed genus of grasses having the flowers in dense spikes often with long-awned glumes and the one-flowered spikelets in clusters of two or three at each joint of the rachis.

Hordeum is a genus of 32 species that grow in temperate and adjacent subtropical areas, at elevations from 0-4500 m. The genus is native to Eurasia, the Americas, and Africa, and has been introduced to Australasia. The species are confined to rather moist habitats, even on saline soils.

2018年8月19日 · Like wheat and rye, Hordeum belongs to the Triticeae tribe of grasses, most conspicuously characterized by their inflorescence that is a spike instead of the panicle that occurs in most other grasses. The wild progenitor of the cereal is H. vulgare subsp. spontaneum from Southwest Asia.

A very showy and attractive Ornamental Grass, Hordeum jubatum, commonly known as Foxtail Barley, features clumps of arching leaves, with distinctive feathery flower spikes that are green flushed with pale pink or purple and fade to light tan as they mature.

Common barley hails originally from western Asia and north Africa. It is the main grain ingredient in a number of liquors, including beer. It is one of the first documented agricultural cereals, dating from the Neolithic period (8500 years ago) in the fertile crescent of the Nile delta.
