False Brome, Slender False Brome or Wood False Brome — Brachypodium sylvaticum — is a perennial grass native to Europe, Asia and Africa. It has a broad native range stretching from North Africa to Eurasia.
The bunchgrass is most commonly found in forests and woodlands, preferring the shaded canopy, but may grow in open areas. It prefers well drained neutral and calcerous soils, and avoids wet conditions.

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or brome:
“Wild as it was, it was hard for me to get rid of the associations of the settlements. Any steady and monotonous sound, to which I did not distinctly attend, passed for a sound of human industry.... Our minds anywhere, when left to themselves, are always thus busily drawing conclusions from false premises.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I have been in love, and in debt, and in drink,
This many and many a year.”
—Alexander Brome (1620–1666)
