Triticum zhukovskyi

Triticum zhukovskyi, or Zhukovsky's wheat, is a hexaploid wheat, very closely resembling the Triticum timopheevii, a tetraploid variety of wheat. "T. zhukovskyi" was first observed in Western Georgia in close proximity to "Triticum timopheevii" and "Triticum monococcum" and is believed to be an amphiploid arising from the cross of "T. timopheevii" and "T. monococcum".
