| Abstract: | Due to its geographic position on the northeastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula and its sea trade relationships with Asia,
East Africa and the Middle East, Oman has for millennia been at the cross-roads of inter-regional exchange of cultivated plants.
This is reflected in recent findings of new cultivars of banana (Musa spp.) and wheat (Triticum spp.) in remote oases of the Hajar Mountains in northern Oman. Material collected in 2003 and 2004 contained six new botanical
varieties of wheat which are described here. One of them belongs to the tetraploid T. aethiopicum, the others are hexaploid. |
