|discussion=<p><i>Elymus bakeri</i> grows in high, but not alpine, mountain meadows of Colorado and northern New Mexico. It resembles the awned phase of <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i> (p. 281), but differs in having rather thicker culms and spikes, and stouter lemma awns. W.A. Weber (University of Colorado, pers. comm., ca. 1999) stated that it often forms large stands in Colorado.</p><!--
--><p>Reports of <i>Elymus bakeri</i> from Idaho appear to be based on fertile hybrids of <i>E. trachycaulus</i> (p. 321) or <i>E. violaceus</i> (p. 324) with <i>Pseudoroegneria spicata</i>; that for Wallowa County, Oregon, on a specimen of <i>E. glaucus</i> (p. 306).</p>
