@Tapirlord according to PlantNet and VicFlora keys and descriptions Vulpia bromioides and V. muralis have panicles fully exserted from the uppermost leaf sheaf while V. myuros mostly has "Inflorescence partly enclosed by a leaf sheath at maturity". Additionally PlantNet describes V. myuros as a "densely tufted" annual, and the others as "tufted" annuals. Considering this plant is both densely tufted, and the inflorescence appears at least partly enclosed by the leaf sheaf, should we consider V. myuros for this plant?
