The leaf sheaths are softly pubescent and leaf blades are pubescent on both faces. The leaf blades are Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide. The obtuse ligules are Шаблон:Convert long. The large, open panicles are Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide, with ascending branches that droop at their ends.

Habitat and distribution

Bromus arvensis grows along roadsides, in disturbed areas, and in fields. It is native to southern and central Europe, but is now naturalized as a weed throughout temperate regions including North America and Asia. The grass is a soil improver and is useful for erosion control.[2][3]
