Slender wheatgrass is a species of wild rye native to much of North America, where it grows in widely varied habitats from northern Canada to Mexico. It is variable in appearance, but generally bears a very narrow, linear flower cluster of spikelets appressed against the stem. There are three subspecies, two very widespread and one which is limited to Greenland.
