    1. Reviewed by Adonis ('Don') Tate    Mar 7, 2019

    Action: changed name from "Polypogon maritimus" to "Polypogon monspeliensis "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "Photographer took down a photo of an inflorescence from same time and place after I pointed out to him that lemma awns were showing, unlike in his pix of individual immature spikelets. Some lemma hairs will slightly exceed the lemma tip in monspeliensis, but they don't grow on the tip itself."
