Frankenia but not hirsuta

[MWP admin]

I met a non hairy Frankenia (ie not F. hirstuta) but can't decide between F. laevis and F. pulverulenta (=more propable). 2 different authorities gave me a different answer each!!!

From Blamey's dillustrations, I would exclude F.laevis since it is shown with broad leaves, but when I checked the digital herbarium of Spain, F.laevis had similar leaves to pulverulenta.

Here are the links:

i think that is pulverulenta. met it commonly along the coasts esp on the eastern coast of Malta often with typical hirsuta.
