@Tapirlord I have never made the effort to look into the genus beyond a quick glance at the key which suggests they may as well be impossible to distinguish without the plants in hand. I treat each species the same as they are all exotic annuals and likely function the same way in the environments in which they are found.

I've never really been all that confident with Hordeum. @MattM do you know this group?

This is representative of Polycarpon tetraphyllum as I usually encounter it locally

Looks similar to this *Polycarpon tetraphyllum* but looks partly different too,
eg. the apparently sessile flowers growing in amongst the broad bracts(?) and broad leaves with a flat to the ground prostrate habit – perhaps just adaptations to the colder climate there.
