Leymus

Leymus was first described by Hochstetter in 1848 who included in it L. arenarius. It was first expanded to include many of the rhizomatous species previously included in Elymus; it has since been expanded to include both cespitose and rhizomatous species. All the species are polyploids with two different genomes. One is the Ns genome; the identity of the other(s) is not clear. \Fir a synopsis of the genus, see Yen et al. doi 10.1111/j.1759-6831.2009.00004.x.
