Field Brome
Bromus arvensis L.
Bromus arvensis, commonly known as Field Brome, is a grass species in the Poaceae family. It is native to Europe and Asia and was first described in 1753 by Linnaeus (L.). The species is widely distributed across regions such as British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, FI, IS, SE, HR, Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Great Britain, MX, DK, BY, UA, Flanders, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, and Slovakia.
Description
Bromus arvensis is characterized by its adaptation to cultivated land, as indicated by its specific epithet 'arvensis,' which is Latin for 'of cultivated land.' It is a member of the genus Bromus, which includes various grass species. The species has a broad geographical range and is commonly found in temperate regions. While Kerguelen attempted to designate a type specimen, this was not formally accepted due to the reasons outlined by Cafferty and others in 2000. The plant is recognized in botanical literature and is part of the Linnaean system of plant nomenclature.
