About Leymus condensatus (J.Presl) Á.Löve
Leymus condensatus, also commonly called Canyon Prince, is a species of wild rye in the Poaceae grass family. It is a bunch grass that grows in bunches or clumps, remains green year-round, and has distinctive silver-blue foliage. It is drought tolerant, and grows in coastal sage scrub, chaparral, California's southern oak woodland and foothill oak woodland, and Joshua tree woodlands; it rarely grows in wetlands. It often hybridizes with Leymus triticoides, producing the common hybrid grass Leymus × multiflorus. Mammals and birds often consume both the plant's leaves and seeds.
