Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors in many parts of this country. This plant has potential as a perennial cereal. The seed is small but can be harvested 2 - 3 times a year if the plants are well grown and fertilized[183]. It is considered to be a part of B. carinatus by some botanists[60]. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus. Succeeds in a sunny position in most well-drained soils[138, 200].
