The morphological features and aspects of the germination process of the caryopsis of a Bromus secalinus population out of a wheat field from Pitesti Research Station were studied. The average value of the lemma - 8.11 mm distributes this population in the lemma long-sized group and the length of the dorsal awn - 4.85 mm on average and their appearance, allocate this population to var. secalinus, f. elongatus. At different moments of the germination process, on the surface of the coleorhiza hairs were noticed. The germination rate of seeds of Bromus secalinus is strongly stimulated by the presence of Triticum durum caryopsis while Brassica napus seeds reduce the number of Bromus germinated caryopsis.
