I photoraphed this plant at Ramla some 3 weeks ago and I cannot tell if it is Desmazeria rigida or Cutandia maritima. Confusing grass!

Thanks JP (3rd time!) you are the King!

Now I am between ashamed and confused as I was pretty sure that the 3 photos where of the same plant !!!

but I stay on your advice and convince myself that I might had picked by mistake the inflorescence of a Cutandia ('C') growing through the population of Thinopyrum junceiforme [= Elytrigia juncea] . (info taken your friends' book about Malteseflora)

Anyone have a good keys of grasses here as they are a craze for amateurs!
