10 Grasses in Northern America

Bromus maritimus is a species of brome (or chess) grass known by the common names maritime brome and seaside brome. It is native to Oregon as well

Bromus provides considerable forage for grazing animals, with some species being cultivated for this purpose. The introduced species, all but three of which are annuals, range from sporadic introductions to well-established members of the region’s flora. Many are weedy and occupy disturbed sites. Some are used for hay; others have sharp, pointed florets and long, rough awns that can injure grazing animals. less ↑
