Elymus Repens Var. Aristatus

Smooth brome, scientifically known as Elymus repens var. aristatus, is a perennial grass native to Europe and parts of Asia. It thrives in moist, temperate climates and is commonly found in meadows, pastures, and along riverbanks. This plant is valued for its ability to stabilize soil and prevent erosion due to its extensive root system. Its fine, tufted leaves and flowering spikes make it a distinctive feature in natural landscapes. Despite its benefits, it can become invasive in certain environments if not managed properly.
