Bromus rubens L. (syn.: Anisantha rubens (L.) Nevski, B. madritensis L. subsp. rubens (L.) Husnot) (Medit.) – A very rare and ephemeral alien. First seen in 1904. Much decreasing lately and probably last seen in 1953. Most historical records are from the valley of river Vesdre near Verviers (as a wool alien). Some records are associated with grain importation.
