While typical specimens of Aeluropus lagopoides and Aeluropus littoralis are easily distinguishable, the former with globular heads of hairy spikelets, the letter with a false spike of distant spikes of glabrous spikelets, troublesome intermediates do occur. Bor (in Rech. f., Fl. Iran. 70: 420. 1970) suggested that hybridisation may be responsible for these intermediates.
