Also known as hairy chess.

Range

This species' distribution and abundance in North America is not well-known in large part because, until recently, it has not been distinguished in most sources from bald brome (Bromus racemosus). It is widely agreed to be less common and perhaps less widespread than that species, but it also could be underreported because people have not known to check against it, and even knowing, it is difficult to tell the two species apart. We have yet to build its map.
