Summary A brief history of the wheat‐rye hybrid triticale is provided, and an as complete as possible list of published names referring to this taxon is annotated with nomenclatural details. Only 2 of 6 generic names and 2 of 33 specific names appear to be valid and legitimate. The correct nothogeneric name for plants derived fromTriticum×Secalecrosses is ×TriticosecaleWittmack ex A. Camus. No correct name at species level is available for the commonest crop triticales. It is recommended that crop triticales be named by appending the cultivar name to the nothogeneric name, e.g. ×Triticosecale‘Newton‘.
