Bromus Tectorum Var. Anisantha

Smooth brome, scientifically known as Bromus tectorum var. anisantha, is a perennial grass native to the mountainous regions of western North America. It is characterized by its fine, soft leaves and tufted seed heads that give it a distinctive appearance. This plant is commonly found in disturbed soils and is often used for erosion control and livestock forage. Despite its benefits, it can become invasive in certain environments, outcompeting native vegetation. Its adaptability and resilience make it a significant species in both ecological and agricultural contexts.
