California Brome-Bromus carinatus

California brome (Bromus carinatus), also known as mountain brome, is a perennial bunchgrass that grows up to 3 feet high. It is found in a variety of habitats from sagebrush to mountain grasslands and conifers. It is often found under aspen trees. It is native to western North America but has been introduced to many other areas.

The inflorescence is an erect painicle, and the spikelets are distinctly flattened.
