Hi,<br>
<br>
Kurt Stueber at the max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research is
currently scanning historical botany books, and making them available
on the Internet.<br>
There may be some useful drawings available from some of his pages.<br>

Dave,
Do you know where I could find a botany or taxonomy text with clear (pen)
drawings of the florets, spikelets and spikes of wheat and its progenitors?
Most modern texts have photos, while I need the classical precise pen
drawings.
Regards,
Maarten

I'm stumped. Passing this along to others who may be able to help.
The best resource I know for the progenitors is "Wild Wheat", but those
are all photos. For what it's worth, they're all in GrainGenes,

For non-comparative purposes, just wheat:
Gramene is working on this. They have some good drawings for rice,

but not yet for wheat as far as I can find,

Keith Edwards' "Wheat: the big picture", <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.wheatbp.net">http://www.wheatbp.net</a>,
has some good photos. Not drawings but they are labeled. E.g.

There are a couple of drawings of a general grass floret at

I hope someone can help with this. It would be a good thing to add
to GrainGenes.
best,
