WHAT DOES BROME GRASS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

brome grass

Bromus

Bromus is a large genus of the grass family. Estimates in the scientific literature of the number of species have ranged from 100 to 400, but plant taxonomists currently recognize around 160–170 species. They are commonly known as bromes, brome grasses, cheat grasses or chess grasses. Bromus is part of the cool-season grass lineage, which includes about 3300 species. Within Pooideae, Bromus is classified in tribe Bromeae. Bromus is closely related to the wheat-grass lineage that includes such economically important genera as Triticum, Hordeum and Secale. The generic name Bromus is derived from the Latin bromos, a borrowed word from the Ancient Greek βρομός. βρομός and bromos mean oats, but βρομός seems to have referred specifically to Avena sativa and Avena barbata. The generic name Avena is another Latin word for oats or wild oats.
