<upd_detl>I'm not sure about "pearl barley," but I guess it's okay with the other glosses.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>EN wikipedia says "pearl barley" is barley that has been processed to remove its outer hull.
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_barley

JA wikipedia says もち麦 is an inherently glutinous type of barley. Nothing about processing.
  https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AA%E3%82%AA%E3%83%A0%E3%82%AE
  また、上記の品種はすべてうるち性であるが、日本を含む東アジアにはもち性のオオムギも存在する。もち麦は日本ではもち米の代替として西日本中心に栽培され、団子などがこれで作られた。 

Daijirin also doesn't say anything about processing.

I see a lot of cooking websites refer to it as "mochi mugi" and "Japanese pearl barley," though.
