A concoction of unidentified plants

Post by Grey's Anatomy »

I apologize if this is not the appropriate forum to post this in as MWP has pointed out to me earlier to post a separate thread for each different plant. So feel free to move it elsewhere.

I need help confirming the following plant species.

I apologize if it may seem tedious to identify due to the lack of scaling.

B may be Halimione portulacoides, or Cremnophyton lanfrancoi. Advise where found, that may help.

Hallik mill l-iscale guz, take better pics!!! :lol:

F (C.m) confirmed as above, I am just noting the (blurry) leaves at the base.

Young plants are not always easy to identify as the leaves are not well formed, and being without flowers, it makes it more difficult.

Well, I have a doubt on C which may be Valantia muralis. The moss is too much far away to identify but must be Scorpiurium circinatum or Trichostomum crispulum.

D can be a babyDaucus carota .

I confirm B and F, while A is also a bit too young, but the closest is Inula crithmoides as RB said.

Hope you credit www.maltawildplants.com in your work (fair enough!)


(Also note that you can scale pics for posting up to 920pix wide.)

The model is Canon PowerShot A620.

I'll definitely be crediting the Administration of this site in my work and will also be doing a little contribution eventually. :)

Thank you though for the help. Very much appreciated.

Not just the administrator (me), but the whole group!!! So in general, it should be www.maltawildplants.com :wink:
