Abstract
Fagopyrum esculentum (aesculentum) Moench. commonly called buckwheat, belongs to the family Polygonaceae and was formerly named Fagopyrum sagittatum Gilib. or Polygonum fagopyrum L. (Wallis 1960). Other common names include beechwheat, French wheat, Saracen corn and green manure crop (Grieve 1974; Morton 1977), and it has also been called Japanese buckwheat, differentiating it from Fagopyrum tataricum Gaertn., the Tartary buckwheat (Wilson 1948; Griffith et al. 1955).
