Thinopyrum junceum, commonly named sand couch-grass, is a species of grass in the family Poaceae.[1] It is found in Europe and temperate Asia, and grows from rhizomes.[2] They have a self-supporting growth form and simple, broad leaves. Individuals can grow to 52 cm tall.[3]
A relative of wheat, Thinopyrum junceum is salt-tolerant. A hybridization of the two creates a salt-tolerant wheat variety.[4][5]
