Analysts often struggle with identification of the respective Bromus species. Representatives from the southern region identified this as a potential referee topic at the 2007 AOSA/SCST meeting. Due to time constraints, this year's referee will be based on images of seven species graciously provided by the Pennsylvania Seed Lab.
The first link below is a pdf with seven sets of images from the 2008 AOSA/SCST Southern region referee. The answer sheet (.doc or .pdf version) can be used to identify each sample (a-g). Answers can then be verified using the Answer Key below.
