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:
“Rhyme, the rack of finest wits,
That expresseth but by fits
True conceit,
Spoiling senses of their treasure,
Cozening judgment with a measure,
But false weight;
Wresting words from their true calling;
Propping verse for fear of falling
To the ground;
Jointing syllables, drowning letters,
Fastening vowels, as with fetters
They were bound!”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“I have been in love, and in debt, and in drink,
This many and many a year.”
—Alexander Brome (1620–1666)
