A reply: "Hai everybody ! Grass in image 4452 is Oryzopsis (Piptatherum) aequiglumis. You can see both new spikelet with the single floret and old spikelet with only glumes left behind. Grasses in image 4450 is Phleum himalaicum. The key provided in Floras is confusing, but this image matches well with the type specimen. The main identification character is that both the glumes are very acuminate and the short cylindric spikelet. Grass in image 4451 is a variety of Festuca rubra (foreground). There is a mature inflorescence of Phleum himalaicum with spikelets falling towards the right of the photo. The grass with fine spikelets hanging in a panicle in the background seems to be Eremopoa persica. Regards... Manoj Chandran"
