= B. madritensis ssp. rubens (L.) Husnot [39]

There is a taxonomic disagreement about foxtail chess (Bromus madritensis L.) (Poaceae) in the strict sense. Some systematists recognize 2 subspecies of foxtail chess: the type subspecies (Bromus madritensis ssp. madritensis) and red brome (Bromus madritensis ssp. rubens (L.) Husnot) [39]. Other systematists have split foxtail chess infrataxa and raised them to specific status as Bromus madritensis L. [44,45] and Bromus rubens L. [34,44,45,75,77]. There is consensus that the 2 entities are very closely related [1,78]. All names are currently used in the literature.

This report considers Bromus madritensis in the broad sense. For readers who support realignment, studies concerning United States populations of B. rubens may be interpreted as B. m. ssp. rubens [1,78]. Where possible, distinctions are made between the typical subspecies (B. m. ssp. madritensis) and red brome (B. m. ssp. rubens). The common name foxtail chess is used when discussing the species as a whole, and when literature cited does not distinguish between foxtail chess and red brome in areas where their distributions overlap (mostly California). Red brome refers to B. m. ssp. rubens (B. rubens).
