The flower spikes are branched (hence the Latin name ramosus), unlike Anthericum liliago.

Abstract: Both members of the diploid–tetraploid species pair Anthericum ramosum L. and Anthericum liliago L. occur as geographically disjunct isolates on the margins of their northern range in Scandinavia.

Here too were Pyrenean flax Linum suffruticosum ssp. salsoloides and the lilac, thistle-like Carduncellus monspelliensium, while Bob spotted a single spike of St Bernard's lily Anthericum liliago growing on top of the cliff.
