"Hordeum pusillum" (Little Barley) is wild grass that is considered to be a grain that was sometimes cultivated by Native Americans, and not much, if at all, in Central America, as food source (not, anyway, as a *main* food source).
Why then would this wild grass, or "agricultural weed", be a basis for the Nephites gold and silver "money"?
