Secale montanum

Secale montanum, wild perennial rye, is a species in the rye genus Secale native to the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Caucasus region, and eastwards through Iran to Pakistan.[2] It is a short-lived, self-fertile perennial. It is thought to be the ultimate parent of domesticated rye (Secale cereale), and crosses with S. cereale have had some success in creating fodder cultivars.[3][4] Some authorities consider the synonym Secale strictum C.Presl. to have priority.[5]
