--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>perennial; usually cespitose, occasionally shortly rhizomatous. <b>Inflorescences</b> terminal, spikes or spikelike, with 1-3(7) spikelets per node, lateral spikelets usually shortly pedicellate, central spikelets sessile or nearly so; disarticulation tardy, at the rachis nodes and beneath the florets. <b>Spikelets</b> with 1-4 florets. <b>Glumes</b> subulate to narrowly lanceolate, usually awned; lemmas usually awned; anthers sterile. <b>Caryopses</b> rarely formed.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>×Elyhordeum is the name given to hybrids between Elymus and Hordeum. These hybrids are fairly common. All appear to be sterile, i.e., they do not produce good pollen or set seed. The descriptions should be treated with reservation because, in some instances, only type specimens have been examined. For that reason, no key is provided. Only named hybrids are described and illustrated.</p><!--
--><p>Interspecific hybrids between Elymus elymoides or E. multisetus and other species of Elymus resemble the ×Elyhordeum hybrids in having tardily disarticulating, spikelike inflorescences and awned glumes and lemmas, but are more likely to have solitary spikelets, even at the lowest node. Distinguishing between them and ×Elyhordeum hybrids, without knowledge of other species of Triticeae at a site, is challenging.</p><!--
--><p>Inflorescence measurements, unless stated otherwise, do not include the awns.</p>
