ssp. elymoides ----bottlebrush squirreltail, California squirreltail

SYNONYMS
Elymus elymoides (Raf.) Swezey ssp. californicus (J.G. Sm.) Barkworth
Sitanion hystrix (Nutt.) J.G. Sm. var. californicum (J.G. Sm.) F.D. Wils.

 

These two collections appear to be made up of individuals most closely aligned with Elymus elymoides subsp. californicus.  However, when viewing the characters of the spikes/spiklets there appears to be some introgression with the subsp. elymoides.  Some spikelets appear closer to those typical of subsp. hordeoides.
