"Bromus catharticus, a native of S America, is mentioned by Meikle (1985), based on the report by Jones & Merton (1958). According to the latter source it has been selected in the 1950s as a pasture plant, on experimental scale, in the Plant Introduction Nursery. Referring to this, Della (1999) lists the occurrence of the species as questionable for Cyprus. The collection from Kato Amiantos area, suggests that it has been planted in the vicinity, at least experimentally. It must be classified as ‘Casual’" (Hand et al. 2022).
