What Linum is this

I dont think it is L. strictum since it has many leaves and few-flowered inflorescences (unless L. strictum is variable so much!)

strictum I believe

All the strictums I have seen so far (not thousands either) have few flowers and less dense leaves so I am scratching my head

Probably u (we) are right, but better to be sure and ask!

its strictum that might get very big (50 cm) with lots of flowers. if the plant is stout and the leaves are rough its strictum, if its filiform and the leaves are smooth its trigynum.

Linum strictum ssp. strictum (almost unbranched and robust)- much branched with a more spreading habit is Linum strictum ssp. corymbulosum.
