Bromus grossus, the whiskered brome, is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae.[1][2] It is native to central Europe, and has been introduced to Great Britain, and New York and Oregon in the United States. It has gone extinct in the Netherlands.[1] During the Neolithic it arose as a weed of spelt fields, and due to changing agricultural practices is now considered highly endangered under the Habitats Directive.[3]
