Elymus texensis, commonly called Texas wildrye,[2] is a species of flowering plant in the grass family (Poaceae). It is native to United States, where it is endemic to the Edwards Plateau of Texas.[3][4] Its natural habitat is on calcareous bluffs in Juniperus woodlands and grassy areas.[3]

Elymus texensis is a recently discovered and poorly known species. It was described to science in 2006.[5] It is currently only documented from three collections,[3] although further surveys will likely reveal more localities. It appears to be most morphologically similar to Elymus pringlei, which is found further south in Mexico.[5]
