Elymus texensis, commonly called Texas wildrye, is a species of flowering plant in the grass family (Poaceae). It is native to United States, where it is endemic to the Edwards Plateau of Texas.[1] Its natural habitat is on calcareous bluffs in Juniperus woodlands and grassy areas.[1]
Elymus texensis is a recently discovered and poorly known species. It was described to science in 2006.[2] It is currently only documented from three collections,[1] although further surveys will likely reveal more localities. It appears to be most morphologically similar to Elymus pringlei, which is found further south in Mexico.[2]
