A type of grass with seed heads that have long, stiff bristles, commonly found in meadows and grasslands.
From Late Latin 'bromos' (meaning a type of grass or oat), possibly from Greek. The term has been used since medieval times to describe wild grasses.
Brome grass is incredibly tough and drought-resistant, which is why ranchers love it—the same hardy traits that let it survive scorching summers have made it an invasive species in some ecosystems, outcompeting native plants.
