We had a long day in the van to get back to Dushanbe but we managed a stop at Said-Jafar's home in Faizabad. Said was our chef on the trip and studies at the Agriculture Academy in Dushanbe.
At the top of a hill on his property we found a large stand of Agelopes cylindrica (bottom right) and triuncialis (right) as well as some Hordeums including bulbosum (bottom left) that has, as the name implies, a bulb beneath the soil. All are related to wheat and barley in some way. Hard to believe when you see some of them.
