The genus of modern Terran Twentieth century wheat is "Triticum." The
common bread wheat is Triticum aestivum.
Triticale, genus Triticosecale, is a hybrid between Triticum and
Secale, rye.
I believe there is an experimental form called "tritriticale." On the
theory that in the future there will be bigger numbers the TOS writers
devised "quadrotriticale."
