Distribution: ―Native. Bromus dolichocarpus is distributed from central México (Chiapas, Distrito Federal, Durango, Guerrero, Hidalgo, Jalisco, Estado de México, Michoácan, Morelos, Oaxaca, Puebla, Veracruz) to Guatemala (El Progreso, Quezaltenango, San Marcos) (Fig. 34). It was reported from Colima and Jalisco by Beetle (1977), but we have not seen specimens from these states. This is the first report of B. dolichocarpus from Durango, as the species was not reported for the state by Herrera Arrieta (2001, 2014). Ecology: — Bromus dolichocarpus is found on gentle slopes and flats that are often steep and rocky and along small draws; associated with Pinus spp., Pinus hartwegii Lindley (1839: 62), Abies religiosa, Quercus spp., Juniperus deppeana, Arbutus xalapensis, Gaultheria Linnaeus (1753: 395), Pteridium Gled. ex Scopoli (1760: 169), Tagetes Linnaeus (1753: 887), Symphoricarpos Duhamel du Monceau (1755: 295), Arctostaphylos pungens, Alnus, Ribes Linnaeus (1753: 200), Prunus serotina Ehrhart (1783: 285), Rhamnus Linnaeus (1753: 193), Crataegus Linnaeus (1753: 475), Toxicodendron Miller (1754a), Geranium (Linnaeus 1753: 676) and Baccharis. Elevation: 2500–3800 m (Guatemala), (1900–) 2200–3920 m (México). Common Names: ―Unknown. Comments: ― Bromus dolichocarpus is one of three Mexican species with 3-nerved lemmas, which are newly recognized here in sect. Mexibromus. It is easily distinguished from B. attenuatus by its pubescent lemmas, longer awns and leaf blades that do not distinctly narrow towards their bases, and from B. densus by its longer awns, shorter anthers and wider leaf blades (see taxonomic key).
