    Can a member help me with this tiny plant. I found it growing in the grass which was very short due to being often nibbled at by sheep. It was growing at an elevation of 3740 feet. I believe it could belong to either of the above families. Geographic area is S. Italy. The plant was only 3-4 inches in height.

    Euphrasia sp. (Orobanchaceae, but it was once regarded as a part of Scrophulariaceae).

    Thank you for the ID. I just couldn't find any info. under Scrophulariaceae but I was quite certain that it belonged to this family. Thanks and Best wishes, Duffy
