Elymus glaucus, also known as blue wild rye, is a type of grass native to North America. It can be found in various regions from Alaska to New York to northern Mexico. This perennial bunch grass has a thick root system and can grow up to 1.5 meters tall. Its leaves are flat and narrow, and it produces a long, pointed inflorescence with spikelets that are about 1-1.5 cm long. In the coastal prairies of the western United States, it is often found alongside other native grasses such as Danthonia californica, Deschampsia caespitosa, Festuca idahoensis, and Nassella pulchra. Elymus glaucus also serves as a host for the woodland skipper butterfly's larvae.
