Here's an updated version of the diagram shared last month. The only changes have been in the explanatory text on the right of the triangle. This version is preferable to use or share if you find the concept useful. A full presentation of this schematic, with examples of uses, along the lines of what I shared on this list on 6 August, is coming. (Yes this is taking longer than planned.)

I indicated that I would rework the base diagram, and that is what you see in the attached. Main changes: * Number of boxes increased from 19 to 21 * Split Indian & Japanese barnyard millet, and white and black fonio each into two boxes * Added "Some Panicum species" next to the box for Setaria spp. The interest here is to begin to account for species related to cultivated millets that are or have been used for food in some circumstances (or in the past) * Rearranged how the various millets are presented in function of geographic origin (Asia, mostly towards the left, and Africa to the right) and botanic relationships (tribe, and genus where more than one species belong to a genus) * Added brief explanations on the right about each level in the diagram (sorghum - sometimes called "great millet" - is at the top as it's by far the most cultivated of all the grains presented worldwide, etc.) I'll probably tweak some of the wording a bit more, and plan to put it into a presentation, in order to show how it can be used to inform (and demystify) millets. However, please feel free to use or share this as is, if you think it is useful. DO, EL, MI, US
