The Cretan meadow foxtail (Alopecurus creticus) is a species of foxtail grass that is found in Bulgaria, Serbia, Macedonia, Greece, the east Aegean Islands, Crete and Turkey. It can be found in marshes and wet places near sea level, and wet grasslands near freshwater sub-saline grassy flats. It is threatened by coastal development and marsh draining.[1]
