|discussion=<p><i>Elymus virginicus </i>var.<i> halophilus</i> grows in the moist to damp soil of dunes and brackish marsh edges along the northern Atlantic coast, from Nova Scotia to North Carolina. It could be considered a relatively small, disjunct form of the largely midwestern <i>E. virginicus </i>var.<i> jejunus</i>, but its glumes are more like those of <i></i>var.<i> virginicus</i>. Transitions to <i>E. glabriflorus</i> (p. 296) may be found in southern regions. Rare northern plants with hirsute spikelets (sometimes called <i>E. virginicus</i> i. lasiolepis Fernald) differ from <i></i>var.<i> intermedius</i> in having grayish green, involute blades.</p>
