Bluebunch Wheatgrass-Pseudoroegneria spicata

Bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata, previously Elymus spicatus and Agropyron spicatum), is an important grass in the sagebrush zone. It grows throughout western North America.

It is often bluish-gray in color and grows up to 2 1/2 feet tall.

The inflorescence is a spike about six inches long and more slender than most other wheatgrasses. The awns usually curve at right angles from the culm.
