WorldFloraDB - Bromus pumpellianus

Characteristics

Perennial, with creeping stolons. Culms erect, 60–120 cm tall, 4–6-noded, with dense, reflexed hairs. Leaf sheaths glabrous or sparsely reflexed pubescent; leaf blades ca. 15 cm × 6–7 mm, adaxial surface sparsely pubescent, abaxial surface and margin scabrid; ligule ca. 1 mm, apex erose. Panicle spreading, ca. 20 cm; branches 2–4 per node, 2–6 cm, each bearing 1 or 2 spikelets. Spikelets 25–40 × 5–8 mm wide, florets 9–13; rachilla internodes 2–2.5 mm, pubescent or spinulose; lower glume 7–9 mm, 1-veined, upper glume 9–11 mm, 3-veined, margins membranous, apex acuminate; lemmas lanceolate, 10–14 × ca. 1.5 mm in side view, 7-veined, intermediate and marginal veins short or inconspicuous, margins membranous, keel and margins often proximally stiffly pubescent, hairs 1–2 mm, awned from apex; awn 2–5 mm; palea slightly shorter than lemma, keels stiffly ciliate. Anthers 4–6 mm. Fl. and fr. Jun–Aug. 2n = 28.

More

Much like no. 3 [Bromus inermis Leyss.]; nodes long-hairy; sheaths glabrous or hairy; lvs 5–8 mm wide, hairy above, commonly glabrous beneath; auricles sometimes well developed; ligule 1–2.5 mm; infl 6–15 cm, narrow, with 1–4 ascending branches from a node; glumes glabrous; lemmas 5-or 7-veined, evidently hairy at least at the base and margins, the awn 1.5–4(–5) mm; 2n=42, 56. Native to w. U.S. and Can., disjunct in n. Mich. and s. Ont. Hybridizes readily with no. 3, and perhaps better called B. inermis ssp. pumpellianus (Scribn.) Wagnon, or var. purpurascens (Hook.) Wagnon.
