Bromus racemosus
Also called Smooth Brome
Bald brome (Bromus racemosus) is a small annual grass of meadows, grassland and waste ground across Eurasia, introduced widely elsewhere. It is a wild weed-type grass rather than a garden plant, and it grows readily from seed in disturbed, moist, alkaline soils.
Bromus racemosus, the smooth brome or bald brome, is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae. It is native to subarctic and temperate Eurasia, and widely introduced elsewhere, including North America, Iceland, the Southern Cone of South America, the Korean Peninsula, Australia, and New Zealand. It grows in alkaline meadows and in waste places.
In its native Europe, Bromus racemosus occurs in moist meadows and grasslands, though it is threatened by changes in agricultural grassland management. In its introduced habitat in North America, B. racemosus occurs in waste places, fields, roadsides, and gravelly hills in scattered locations throughout the United States and Canada. In South America, the grass occurs in the southern Andes of Argentina and Chile.
