Been scratching my head about this, but closest I got was Hyparrhenia hirta. The feathery style+stigma are a not alike the pic in Weber book or Wild Plants though!

They grew close to each other as in tufts of long grass (about 100-400 specimen in each tuft) and tuft populations where isolated about half a metre from each other. Grass was about 1.0-1.5m long

my first guess is an albino or very pale andropogon distachyos

There where many of them and distributed over a large area at Birzebbugia; so I dont think they are all albinos 9assuming albinos are rare) . What would be the second guess
