This species, considered as a subspecies of Agropyrin cristatum (L.) Gaertn. and endemic to Krym peninsula by Flora Europaea is a west Pontic taxon which never provides hybrids or intergrades with the named species and so clearly merits specific recognition as well as its close relative Agropyron brandzae Pantu et Solacolu. Both species are west Pontic and their main characteristics were emphasized in the presentation of Agropyron brandzae from thus site.The pictures below were taken from outside Romania, on the Cretaceous cliffs around Balchik, in north-eastern Bulgaria. dr.
