Notice of release of `Discovery' Snake River wheatgrass

Abstract:

`Discovery' Snake River wheatgrass (Elymus wawawaiensis J. Carlson & Barkworth [Poaceae]) has been released as a cultivar for use in rangeland seedings. The natural distribution of Snake River wheatgrass is limited to eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, and central and northern Idaho, but it is widely used as a surrogate for bluebunch wheatgrass (Pseudoroeg-neria spicata (Pursh) A. L”ve [Poaceae]) in temperate portions of the Intermountain Region.
