Elymus cinereus
The days immediately before the 15 July 2010 Jefferson fire, the sagebrush steppe of the Idaho National Laboratory was still green and lush given that 2010 was a relatively wet and cool year. Here, basin wildrye stands tall among a large stand of squirreltail, Elymus elymoides. This site lies north of Middle Butte (background) and north of highway 20, Bingham County, Idaho (near the Butte County line).
