Cochlearia officinalis, a salt-loving coastal plant. In spring its white flowers can be seen easily along the roadside even some way inland, as here. Not a grass in any sense but its name derives from its anti-scorbutic properties and it was used by sailors for that purpose. Said to have been introduced by the Romans.
