Yes, it is Spinifex littoreus, male plant. It is a dioecious plant, that is, male and female inflorescences are found on separate plants. The female inflorescence is spiny and is like a spiny ball which rolls away in wind. Found on sea shores world wide. Also called rolling dallis grass.

Thanks a lot Manoj ji & Pudji Widodo ji.

Regards

Prashant
