Bromus diandrus Roth has been recorded for the first time in Jammu & Kashmir, India, where its distribution was previously known only in Himachal Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. This new finding raises the number of Bromus L. taxa in Jammu and Kashmir to seventeen. A detailed description, habitat, and illustrations of B. diandrus are provided, along with a geo-coordinate map showing the collection site

This study offers a comprehensive overview of the distribution of Bromus diandrus in the Western Himalayas, specifically in Jammu and Kashmir. Although B. diandrus is native to the Mediterranean region and South and Central Western Europe, it has been widely introduced and naturalized in numerous other countries (Malik & Mohammad, 2015)
