Flower/Fruit: Fl. & Fr.Per.: June-August.
Type: Type: Germany, Leysser (LINN).
Distribution: Distribution: Kashmir; Europe and temperate Asia.
Comment/Acknowledgements: Awnless Brome, as interpreted here, is part of a species complex grading into awned and/or hairy forms especially in Asia. It shows quite clear connections with Bromus stenostachyus Boiss. and the Caucasian Bromus biebersteinii Roem. & Schult. Its distinction from Bromus confines is also rather ill-defined.

A very useful fodder grass introduced into the British Ises and North America for this reason.
