|discussion=<p><i>Elymus virginicus </i>var.<i> virginicus</i> grows in moist to damp or rather dry soil, mostly on bottomland or fertile uplands, in open woods, thickets, tall forbs, or weedy sites. It is widespread and abundant in the eastern range of the species, but also overlaps with <i></i>var.<i> jejunus</i> in the Great Plains, east to Texas and Manitoba. Its dimensions have much genetic and phenotypic variation (Brooks 1974). It occasionally hybridizes with sympatric <i>Elymus</i> species, including <i>E. riparius</i> (p. 302), and even with <i>Hordeum</i> (Bowden 1958; Church 1958; Pohl 1959; Nelson and Tyrl 1978). In its eastern range, most plants are distinctively short, reaching only 30-90 cm, with sheathed spikes 6-10 cm long. In more open or drier environments, especially in midwestern regions, plants are often more glaucous, robust, and exserted, grading into <i></i>var.<i> jejunus</i>. Awn length increases towards the south, suggesting introgression with <i>E. glabriflorus</i> (p. 296) (Davies 1980). Pubescent blades are generally absent, but appear more frequently in Wisconsin and perhaps other northern areas.</p>
