Revision of the subsection <i>Pendulini</i> (Nevski) Tzvelev of the genus <i>Elymus</i> L. (Poaceae)
As a result of revision of taxa in the subsection Pendulini (Nevski) Tzvelev section Goulardia (Husn.) Tzvelev genus Elymus L. is proposed to consider E. vernicosus (Nevski ex Grubov) Tzvelev and E. brachypodioides (Nevski) Peschkova as intraspecific taxa of E. pendulinus s.l. by the varietas rank. The genus Elymus pendulinus (Nevski) Tzvelev var. brachypodioides (Nevski) Probat. is restored and the new combination Elymus pendulinus (Nevski) Tzvelev var. vernicosus (Nevski ex Grubov) Agafonov et Kobozeva is proposed.
