Article Abstract:
The grass subspecie (ssp.) Vulpia ambigua is devoid of long hairs on its stiffly erect and very narrow inflorescence. It exhibits a purplish coloring at fruiting. It is generally smaller in all its parts as compared to the subspecie Vulpa ciliata. A distinctive feature of the ssp. ambigua is the very unequal length of its two glumes. V. ciliata belongs to the Mediterranean-Atlantic portion of the United Kingdom while ssp. ambigua is limited to England, Wales and the Channel Islands.
