Bromus subg. Stenobromus (Griseb.) Hack. in Engler & Prantl, Nat. Pflanzenfam. 2(2): 75. 1887

≡ Bromus sect. Stenobromus Griseb., Spic. Fl. Rumel. 2: 448 1844 [1846].

Type.

(designated here): Bromus sterilis L., Sp. Pl.: 77 (1753).

Remarks.

Grisebach (1844: 448) described Bromus sect. Stenobromus including B. maximus Desf., B. madritensis L., B. tectorum L. and B. sterilis L. Hackel (1887: 75) described B. subg. Stenobromus including only two species: B. tectorum L. and B. sterilis L and gave Anisantha K. Koch as a synonym. Afterwards, some other species were included. Until now, B. subg. Stenobromus has been used in some works ( Stebbins 1981, Acedo and Llamas 1999) because there is no correct name available for this taxon at subgenus level. As a consequence, B. subg. Stenobromus is treated as a new combination at new rank because a potential basionym exists, B. sect. Stenobromus , applying to the same taxon ICN Art. 41.4.

This subgenus is variable enough to have two sections:
