Morphometric analysis has proven to be an effective tool for identifying phytolith assemblages produced by various plant taxa. Dendritic phytoliths are produced in the inflorescence bracts of Triticeae. Articulated dendritc phytoliths produce a wave pattern along the margins of the cells. In this study we explore the use of morphometric data from our reference collection of articulated dendritic phytoliths to identify Triticeae taxa in soil and ceramic thin sections.
