Worldwide distribution of members of Pooideae species as percentage of the total grass flora. The native distributions of Brachypodium distachyon and a typical cool season Pooideae forage grass, Phleum pratense, are indicated in two different green shadings. Data for distribution is taken from Hultèn and Fries [11] for P. pratense, and Flora Europaea [12], Filiz et al. [13] and data retrieved from the Global Biodiversity Data Portal (data.gbif.org, 2011-11-08) for B. distachyon. This figure (without B. distachyon and P. pratense distributions) was adapted from Hartley [6] with permission from CSIRO publishing. Pooideae is cited as Festucoideae in the Hartley [6] original paper.
