Does anyone have a decent translation for it?
Thanks a lot.

Comment: "Rock rose is the common name, so I was really close to choosing it, but 'cistus' is also commonly used. Cadmio was the first to come up with the correct answer. Thanks for your help."

Feather Grass
That would be Feather Grass. I used the latin name (Stipa -) to look for it on the BBC Plant Database. There are several kinds, so it can also be Pheasant's Tail Grass, but in this case, I think Feather Grass would be more appropriate.

this article mentions its portuguese origin. I saw more than one website calling it a gum-rock rose.
