Cheatgrass (Bromus tectorum) is a particularly troublesome weed across much of western North America (from southern British Columbia to California. (wikipedia.org)
BACKGROUND: Bromus tectorum L. is one of the most troublesome grass weed species in cropland and non-cropland areas ofthe northwestern USA. (weedscience.org)
Cheat Grass (Bromus tectorum) is a mild allergen. (pollenlibrary.com)
Bromus tectorum is a European species that is well established in the Flora region and other parts of the world. (ngpherbaria.org)
In the southwestern United States, Bromus tectorum is considered a good source of spring feed for cattle, at least until the awns mature. (ngpherbaria.org)
Specimens with glabrous spikelets have been called Bromus tectorum forma nudus (Klett & Richt. (ngpherbaria.org)
Bromus tectorum has been found to alter natural selection in arid systems (Leger & Goergen, 2017). (lu.se)
Leger and Goergen (2017) found that Bromus tectorum altered natural selection in arid systems. (lu.se)
Genus3
Bromus is a large genus of grasses, classified in its own tribe Bromeae. (wikipedia.org)

Distribution of Bromus japonicus Houtt. (idseed.org)
Bromus japonicus can invade pastures and rangelands where it competes with native species, but can be used as an early-season forage (Howard 1994). (idseed.org)

Bromus inermis is native to Eurasia, and is now found in disturbed sites from Alaska and most of Canada south through most of the United States, except the southeast. (asu.edu)
Bromus inermis is similar to B. pumpellianus , differing mainly in having glabrous lemmas, nodes, and leaf blades, but a lack of pubescence is not a consistently reliable distinguishing character. (asu.edu)
Bromus inermis also resembles a recently introduced species, B. riparius , from which it differs primarily in its shorter or nonexistent awns. (asu.edu)
Bromus is from Greek bromo, for stinking, while inermis means unarmed or without prickles. (asu.edu)
Diandrus4
Herbicide resistance to Group A (AC Case-inhibiting herbicides) and B herbicides (ALSinhibiting herbicides) in Bromus diandrus and B. rigidus is becoming more common in southeastern Australia but there is limited information available on its regional distribution in either species.

Bromus catharticus , especially forms with unusually long awns, is regularly confused with B. carinatus . (myspecies.info)
In addition to the characters provided in the key, in Bromus catharticus spikelets are often more strongly laterally compressed (flattened), often strikingly bicoloured and lemmas and glumes more-veined. (myspecies.info)
Bromus catharticus itself also is a variable species. (myspecies.info)
It chiefly differs in awn-length and is, indeed, perhaps better treated as a mere variant of Bromus catharticus (var. (myspecies.info)
The nomenclature and taxonomy of Bromus catharticus have long been controversial. (myspecies.info)

Taxonomy1
Taxonomy and nomenclature of Bromus sect. (bioone.org)
Bromus is distinguished from other grass genera by a combination of several morphological characteristics, including leaf sheaths that are closed (connate) for most of their length, awns that are usually inserted subapically, and hairy appendages on the ovary. (wikipedia.org)

Sections Bromus and Genea are native to the Old World (Eurasia), but many species are introduced into North America. (wikipedia.org)
Grasses1
Since the publication of the first edition of Grasses: Bromus to Paspalum in 1972, twenty-two additional taxa of grasses have been discovered in Illinois that are properly placed in this volume. (siu.edu)

Bromus) from the Iberian Peninsula are described as species new to science and illustrated. (bioone.org)
Bromus is part of the cool-season grass lineage (subfamily Pooideae), which includes about 3300 species. (wikipedia.org)
Native2
The Tarahumara Indians in northern Mexico use the grains of some native Bromus species to aid fermentation in making one of their cultural beverages. (wikipedia.org)
In Canada, annual Bromus species are often an indicator of poor range condition, and readily infest areas where native vegetation has been disturbed by overgrazing, fire, and cultivation (Kirkland and Brenzil 2007). (idseed.org)
Eurasia1
Bromus species occur in many habitats in temperate regions of the world, including Africa, America, Australia and Eurasia. (wikipedia.org)

Invasive1
Some are useful to prevent erosion but such use must be cautiously controlled as most Bromus have the ability to spread, becoming invasive weeds. (wikipedia.org)
Greek1
The generic name Bromus is derived from the Latin bromos, a borrowed word from the Ancient Greek βρομός (bromós). (wikipedia.org)
