Bromus interruptus (Hack.) Druce (Poaceae) in Nederland

Bromus interruptus is a grass which was endemic to England but is now extinct in the wild. Attention is drawn to the two historic records from the Netherlands, where it was probably introduced with agricultural seed, in case it still survives in the wild. It is readily recognised from the contracted inflorescence, broader deltoid spikelets, long glumes and bifid palea.
