Soft Brome

Bromus hordeaceus ssp. thominei, commonly known as Soft Brome, is a perennial grass native to the Mediterranean region, particularly found in areas with a temperate climate. This species typically grows to a height of 30 to 90 centimeters, exhibiting a tufted growth habit that allows it to thrive in various habitats, including grasslands, open woodlands, and disturbed sites. The leaves are soft and hairy, contributing to its common name, and the flowering stems produce loose, nodding panicles that bear small, elongated spikelets. The seeds are light and easily dispersed by wind, aiding in its spread across suitable environments.
