Bromus carinatus
Also called Sweet Brome, Mountain Brome
California brome is a perennial bunchgrass forming clumps 0.5 to 1.5 m tall, native to western North America and used for erosion control and livestock forage. It is grown for restoration and pasture rather than as an ornamental houseplant.
Bromus carinatus is a species of brome grass known by the common names California brome and mountain brome.
It is native to western North America from Alaska to northern Mexico, where it can be found in many types of habitat. It is known in parts of the American midwest and eastern North America as an introduced species.
This grass is used for control of erosion and revegetation of damaged land, as well as a highly palatable forage for livestock; however, it has the capacity to become a noxious weed in agricultural settings.
