Bromus commutatus, the meadow brome,[2] is an annual or biennial[3] species of plant in the grass family Poaceae.

[5] B. commutatus is stouter than B. racemosus, the smooth brome, with a flower-head not drooping to one side and a broader elongated branched flower head.

[6] It is found in meadows, wasteground, road verges, hayfields and rough grassland.

[7] Found throughout the United Kingdom, it is common in England on the moist soils of water meadows; it is rare in Scotland, Ireland and Wales.

The attractive inflorescences may be used, either fresh or dry, in flower arrangements.
