Description: English: Meadow barley is abundant in low lying sites where moisture seeps for at least the first half of the summer. The erect spikes and lemma and glume awns much less than 3 cm long distinguish this grass from foxtail barley, Hordeum jubatum.

Description: English: Although common in mountain meadows, meadow barely inhabits mountain big sagebrush steppe mainly in disturbed settings, such as long two track roads. In contrast to its lower elevation close relative, foxtail barely (Hordeum jubatum), meadow foxtail has a spike that remain erect and lemma and glume awns that are usually much shorter than 3 cm.
