Abstract
I'd welcome any help with the identification of this large grass which has defeated me!![](https://scottishbotanistsconference.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/LG6-1-150x150.jpg)

The grass was found in a roadside woodland near Galashiels, in June 2020. It appeared to be very well established and may be a garden throw-out or birdseed alien. It is very large, perhaps 2m tall and completely hairless.

Here is a close up of the inflorescence. I think it is a Brome, but I've been unable to identify the species and I'd welcome any suggestions or ideas!
