Wild einkorn (Triticum boeoticum ssp thaoudar) collected in the Karaca Dag basalt region of eastern Turkey. In the field several ears were dehusked to expose the grains. Individual ears contained some spikelets with two grains others one grain each with their characteristic shapes. In this case the upper spikelets contained single grains and the lower spikelets two grains.
