| Bromus ramosus Huds. |
Hairy brome Bromus ramosus is a species of plant in the grass family Poaceae, native to Europe, northwest Africa and southwest Asia. Unlike most other bromes, it grows in shady sites under trees. It is a perennial herbaceous plant, typically reaching 1-2 m tall. The leaves are long, usually drooping, 20-50 cm long and 10-15 mm wide, and finely hairy. The flower spike is gracefully arched with pendulous spikelets on long slender stems in pairs on the main stem.
