Dear Said,

Thank you for your reply. I've made a quick research based on some flower characters. I think it is Globularia alypum (Plantaginaceae). I am still confused, that's why I posted this question and the opinion of specialists will be a great help.

Scabiosa columbaria

Why not a species of the Asteraceae family? It looks similar to the genus Cichorium

Globularia alypum L. ( Globulariaceae) - correct identification by many, but not Scabiosa columbaria L. (Caprifoliaceae or species of genus Cichorium L. (Asteraceae).

Current family for this species is Globulariaceae, earlier it was in Plantaginaceae.

Best matches with lectotype specimen of Globularia alypum L. at LINN Hebarium (Linn. No. 117.1). Specimen can be seen at http://linnean-online.org/

Lectotype designated by Milletti & Jarvis in Taxon 36: 635-636. 1987.

Thank you Rajeev for your confirmation

Thank you Rajeev. It is also similar to Globularia arabica Jaub.

Thank you all of you for your consideration and answers
