The genus Elymus has been at the centre of taxonomic controversy due in part to the rearrangement of the species in the related genus Agropyron, a genus in the Wheatgrass tribe.
Similar Species: Alaska Wildrye resembles Slender Wheatgrass (Elymus trachycaulus) except that Alaska Wildrye has the widest part of the glumes near the tip and the glume veins are smooth, whereas Slender Wheatgrass has the widest part of the glume near the middle, and the glume veins are rough.
Blue Wildrye (Elymus glaucus), resembles Canada Wildrye in that it has more than one spikelet per node, but they differ in that the spikelets of Blue Wildrye are narrower than those of Canada Wildrye.
