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.
