Wild rye is a term used for several grasses. They are natively found in parts of North America (as well as elsewhere) and are valuable in the control of exotic invasive plants and as a rotation crop.
"Wild ryes" belong to either of two genera:
- Elymus (genus) (wheatgrasses)
- Leymus

And chopcherry, chopcherry ripe within,
Strawberries swimming in the cream,
And school-boys playing in the stream;”
