• Note : Plants have been collected from Riyadh (RIY-15966, 3-iv-98) which show characters intermediate between Bassia muricata (L.) Asch. and Bassia eriophora (Schrad.) Asch. These have lax branching, dense fleece in the axils and the spiny perianth appendages much projected out of the wool. These are presumed to be Bassia muricata x eriophora hybrids.
