The two spikelets per node, bunched growth habit, and short ligule with no pronounced wheatgrass (clasping) auricle is strongly suggestive of Elymus junceus.
The two spikelets per node, a bunched growth habit, and a short ligule with no pronounced clasping wheatgrass auricle is strongly suggestive of Elymus junceus.
Spikelets are not/little overlapping, have their sides against the stem and have many awned florets. Awns are
straight when young and curved when mature.
This rhizomatous to loosely bunched species is possibly a hybid between thickspike wheatgrass (Agropyron dasystachyum) and bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum). The loosely bunched habit and awned lemmas are from bluebunch wheatgrass and the rhizomatous habit and spike with overlapping spikelets come from thickspike.
Native, cool-season, perennial, loosely tufted, short-lived grass to 100 cm tall. Leaves typically have a half twist and the flag leaf sticks out at a right angle. Leaf sheaths are hairy and auricles are present. Flowerheads are spikes to 25 cm long. Spikelets are 6-12-flowered and not or little overlapping; their sides are against the stem. Lemmas have an awn which is 9-47 mm long and strongly curved when mature. Calluses are distinctly hairy. Flowers from late winter to late summer. A minor component in pastures, it grows on most soil types and is drought and frost tolerant. Native biodiversity. A variable species; plants on good soils produce high quality, palatable green feed in the cooler months, but plants on shallower soils tend to have harsher leaves and produce little feed. Generally only a short lived plant, but can recruit well from seed. Responds positively to fertiliser. Often preferentially grazed, but is avoided after it runs to head. Rotationally graze or provide strategic rests in late spring to aid persistence.
Prairie dog towns harbor many native colonizing plant species but the consistently most predominant is Agropyron dasystachyum, which predominates also in the adjacent undisturbed sagebrush steppe.
Ewwwwww... actually its not that bad, and its supposed to be super good for you, but it really looks like something you would scoop out of a ditch. I dont think it does much when you make wheatgrass and rum shooters though.
Blue wildrye forms mostly slender bunches but in dense stands such that the bunched habit is not readily evident. The habitat is typically understory of montane forests.
In more protected sites with great moisture availability, slender wheatgrass grows taller, more diffuse (less bunched), and produces broader leaf blades (but note that the habit remains bunched).
Mountain big sagebrush averages less than 1 m tall and it commonly has a flat-topped canopy, from which arise the spicate panicles. Elk sedge (Carex geyeri), Idaho fescue (Festuca idahoensis), and bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum) are some of the dominant graminoids in this area. Festuca idahoensis, Lupinus arbustus, and Penstemon attenuatus are in the foreground. This site lies a couple up the trail from the Norton Lake trailhead.
Tufted fleabane is common in this area only on rocky ridges where native vegetation has not been converted to perennial exotic grass stands (e.g., crested wheatgrass).
Although inhabiting a very broad elevational gradient, slender wheatgrass is ecologically very confined to disturbed settings, such as strictly along this trail on the south slope of Buck Mountain.
One of many scenes where crested wheatgrass predominates (even if as stubble) on the north side of Big Southern Butte (cheatgrass and kochia dominate at center).
The bunched habit and short stature is especially evident in slender wheatgrass in exposed dry settings.
Rangeland during third year of monoculture conversion from crested wheatgrass to perennial mix. Sterling Ballbach chose to participate in the North Stillwater County Pasture Monoculture Diversification Targeted Implementation Plan, developed by the NRCS field office in Columbus based on local priorities. The purpose of the TIP is to renovate the monoculture pastures to a diverse mix of plants that allows for different season of use on these pastures. This option facilitates a grazing plan with more management options that helps to improve the health of native rangeland units. Ballbach property, Stillwater County, MT. July 2021

New camera toy - taken with a Raynox DCR-250 macro conversion lens on my Canon PowerShot SX10 IS. Super easy to install, super hard to focus... I think I'll need to practice a little bit. Can't wait for Spring and all the flowers coming out and the bugs crawling around!
Bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata ssp. spicata syn. Agropyron spicatum), Grass family (Poaceae).
Stansbury Mts, Tooele County, Utah.
Streambank wheatgrass can form a lawn with its dense spreading stems usually bearing very slender blue green leaf blades mostly from near the stem base. This grass is essentially thickspike wheatgrass (Agropyron dasystachyum) but with a predilection to wetter more clayey settings and forming more dense population. Actually, thickspike wheatgrass does the same.
Intermediate wheatgrass is front and center in this view. Agropyron spicatum predominates in this area in both burned and unburned sagebrush steppe and where dominant, the abundance of native herbs and grasses, as well as Bromus tectorum, appears to be diminished. Sandy substrates are common in this area. A fruiting species of Calochortus was common at this site but otherwise forb abundance was low.
Astragalus gilviflorus and Cryptantha caespitosa, two perennial cespitose forbs, are common in the sagebrush steppe south of Thermopolis just past the south end of the Wind River Canyon in the region of the Boysen Reservoir, the sagebrush steppe is not dominated by Bromus tectorum regardless of disturbance history. This is in contrast to the Thermopolis regions at the north end of the Wind River Canyon. At this particular site, Agropyron cristatum (crested wheatgrass) is the dominant bunchgrass. Bouteloua gracilis is also common. Perennial native forbs such as Astragalus and Cryptantha are sporadic.
Storm viewed from near the junction of Lincoln Blvd and T20 on 17 June 2009. Crested wheatgrass predominates in this roadside area.

Glumes usually less than half the length of the subtending internode are characteristic of bluebunch wheatgrass.
The Intermountain Flora name for this species Elymus ambiguus var. salmonis, Salmon wildrye. The Flora of North America name is Leymus salina subsp. salmonis. Salmon wildrye is a large bunchgrass with soft-hairy leaves. It is abundant on the gravelly exposed uplands in this area around Arco Peak, at the south end of the Lost River Range, just north of Arco, Idaho.
Thickspike wheatgrass readily colonizes disturbed sites that already have abundant cover of "noxious weeds" and other introduced "invaders".

CK Hall (@ckscooking) is a consultant for Pampered Chef®. She uses food and fellowship to make a difference with real food, health, and great kitchen tools! CK teaches sourcing individual ingredients rather than using complex blends. This is especially true for #greensuperfood products like #wheatgrass, which can be blended with darkly colored ingredients to hide poor color and quality. When you select single ingredients rather than blends, you can see, smell, touch and taste each individual ingredient for quality.
Green blends are often packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets. In fact, even some wheatgrass is packaged that way.
All Pines products are packaged in amber glass bottles with special metal caps containing tight seals that allow us to remove the oxygen from each bottle. That protects the product from oxidation and loss of nutrients that occurs when sensitive green food products are packaged in plastic tubs or paper packets.
Many companies that produce blends do not grow most of the ingredients themselves but deal with dozens of suppliers from far flung places, often China, for the cheapest price without consideration for quality.
With Pines, nearly all our products consist of only one or two ingredients that we grow ourselves on our own #familyfarm. All our products are certified #organic, #nongmoproject verified, #raw and #glutenfree. We are renown for the most nutrition per consumer dollar.
