Bromus lanceolatus
Also called Large Headed Brome, Lanceolate Brome, Large Head Brome
Mediterranean brome is a wild annual grass native to the Mediterranean, Central Asia and nearby regions, usually found in disturbed ground rather than grown as a garden plant. It is a weedy grass that sets seed quickly and is best managed by removing it before it flowers.
Bromus lanceolatus, the Mediterranean brome, large-headed brome or lanceolate brome, is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae. It is native to the Mediterranean, the Caucasus, the Middle East, Central Asia, Xinjiang in China, Afghanistan and Pakistan. A tetraploid, it does well in disturbed habitats and has been introduced to scattered locations in North America, South America, and central Europe.
