    Wild, perennial Cicer spp. were grown with varying success. Cicer judaicum and Cicer cuneatum were grown easily, whereas Cicer bijugum, Cicer pinnatifidum, Cicer reticulatum and Cicer chorassanicum posed some problems.

Other crosses failed, or the seeds obtained produced sterile offspring. Better results can be expected under controlled environments. Several hints are given to improve production of wild Cicer spp. Crossing seems to present formidable barriers, however
