Genetic variation in the self-fertile, allotetraploid grass Elymus glaucus Buckley was assessed using isozymes in 133 populations from southwestern Oregon and from the San Francisco Bay area and central Sierra Nevada moun- tains in California. Elymus glaucus was highly (98.5%) homozygous but also highly variable; 77% of loci were poly- morphic, and the mean number of alleles per locus was 2.96. Populations were highly differentiated, with 40% of variation among populations. Geographic and genetic distances among populations were not correlated, except that pop- ulations collected within 5 km were generally more similar than average. Genetic distance among populations could not be predicted from geographic distance, geographic location, foliage pubescence, serpentine substrate, or habitat mois - ture. However, two genetic clusters, associated with elevation, did emerge. The taxonomic status of Elymus glaucus ssp. jepsonii (Burtt Davy) Gould, based on leaf pubescence, was not supported.
