- NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. Streambank wheatgrass has been vouchered on both sides of the Valley with modest regularity, usually in the montane on loose or sandy soil. Sometimes Elymus lanceolatus is associated with pinyon-juniper, sometimes with the edge of ponds or lakes. It has been recorded from roadsides (e.g., Hwy 160 between Del Norte and South Fork). TE. elymus seed has been used in land restoration mixes. The USA distribution is all states west of the Great Plains. The species follows the Rio Grande drainage through New Mexico but not into Texas.
