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...

I had collected both Phleum alpinum and P. himalaicum from Kashmir, if the identification is correct they are clearly different from above plant. I am attaching photographs of both here.

Dear Sir,

Both seems to be Phleum alpinum. The difference could be mainly because of grazing impact and also of course season, altitude, soil depth, etc.

Regards...

[Gurcharan Singh]

Thanks Manoj ji

My Phleum alpinum was collected from altitude of 3300 m, whereas my P. himalaicum from 1700-1900 m. I wonder if P. alpinum can grow at such low altitudes, plus this was clearly an annual plant.
