A genus of grasses commonly known as brome grass, which includes many wild and cultivated species found worldwide.
From Greek 'bromos' (meaning oat or a type of grain). The genus was named scientifically in the 1700s, though the grasses were known since ancient times.
Bromus grasses are incredibly tough survivors—they thrive in harsh climates and poor soils, making them valuable for rangeland and erosion control. Some species are invasive in new territories!
