Remarks
Elymus fertilis is similar to E. multiflorus (Banks & Solander ex Hooker f.) Á. Löve & Connor, but differs in having longer awns on the lowest lemma of the spikelet and in growing mostly on basic soils of volcanic origin, whereas E. multiflorus is more common on alluvial soils. (vide abstract)
