The genus Elymus refers to a group of plants in the grass family (Poaceae). These perennial species are commonly known as wild rye and are widely distributed in temperate regions of both hemispheres. The plants typically have long, narrow green leaves and tall spike-like clusters of flowers which produce grain-like fruits. They are often used for erosion control, forage, and in ornamental landscaping.
