Descriptors for Buckwheat (Fagopyrum spp.)

'Buckwheat' refers to plants in two genera of the dicot family Polygonaceae: the Eurasian genus 'Fagopyrum', and the North American genus 'Eriogonum'.

Within Fagopyrum, the cultivated species are in the cymosum group, with F. cymosum L. (perennial buckwheat), F. giganteum and F. homotropicum.

Between 65 and 300 species are recognised, depending on the circumscription of the genus; some botanists divide the genus into several smaller genera, including Fagopyrum, Fallopia and Persicaria.

Embryo rescue was first documented in the 18th century when Charles Bonnet excised Phaseolus and Fagopyrum embryos, planted them in soil and the cross resulted in dwarf plants.

The genus Fagopyrum in the flowering plant family Polygonaceae contains 15 to 16 species of plants, including two important crop plants, buckwheat or Japanese buckwheat, Fagopyrum esculentum, and Tartary buckwheat, Fagopyrum tataricum.

Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) also known as duckwheat, India buckwheat, India wheat, green buckwheat, or bitter buckwheat, is a domesticated food plant in the genus Fagopyrum (sometimes merged into the genus Polygonum) in the family Polygonaceae.
