Hai ! Phleum alpinum is a perennial grass and the inflorescence is ovoid. This grass found in VoF seems to be an annual and the inflorescence is several times longer than broad. Phleum alpinum is also found in the valley, but this one seems to be different. I had also collected this from VoF in 2000 and had placed it under Phleum himalaicum, though the description of P.himalaicum in different books do not completely match, especially w.r.t. length of awns. Regards... Manoj Chandran
