TAXONOMY:


The currently accepted scientific name of bottlebrush squirreltail is Elymus elymoides (Raf.) Swezey [60,87,113] (Poaceae). Barkworth and Dewey [12] realigned Sitanion hystrix (Nuttall) J. G. Smith in the Elymus genus as Elymus elymoides. Realignment of the Elymus genus is based upon morphological and genomic characters [12,56].

The following subspecies are currently recognized: Elymus elymoides ssp. brevifolius, E. e. ssp. californicus, E. e. ssp. elymoides, and E. e. ssp. hordeoides [93]. Bottlebrush squirreltail hybridizes frequently with other Elymus species and infrequently with Hordeum species [200]. Bottlebrush squirreltail also hybridizes with saline wildrye (Leymus salinus) [106].
