Discussion
Leymus ×vancouverensis grows at scattered locations on beaches along the Pacific coast, from southern British Columbia to California. It is a sterile hybrid, probably between L. mollis and L. triticoides (Bowden 1957). The northern populations are outside the current range of L. triticoides.
