Bromus alopecuros
Bromus alopecuros is a species of brome grass known by the common name weedy brome.
It is native to the Mediterranean basin, and it is known in other places, including Australia, South Africa, and California, as an introduced species and sometimes a weed. It is an annual grass producing stems up to 80 centimeters tall. The inflorescence is a dense packet of spikelets with tangling, curved awns.
Though Bromus alopecuros is native to the east Mediterranean and northern Africa, it is introduced in many subtropical areas, including California, New South Wales, Queensland, and Tasmania.
