Species Details

False-brome is a tufted native perennial of woods scrub and hedges on fertile neutral soils, and a colonist of open grasslands, waste land and arable fields on calcareous soils over limestone. Apart from the Dark and South West Peak, where it is rare, it is occasional throughout our area from Dinting Reserve (SK0194) and Crook Hill (SK1886) in the north to Haunton (SK2311) and Bryan’s Coppice (SK3619) in the south.
