Aegilops umbellulata, the umbel goatgrass, is an annual grass that is closesly related to wheat. It is native to southeastern Europe (including the East Aegean Islands), Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, the Transcaucasus, and Turkey. [2]

The hybridisation between this species and wheat is known to produce rust resistant plants. [3] [4]
