Maybe Acantholimon acerosum?

It looks similar in seed to what we have as Acantholimon hohenackeri but I can't be sure that it's correctly named!

I've grown three or four dozen species and many of them look alike to me.
Bunge's monograph, Die Gattung Acantholimon, 1872, can be read online here. http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/91186#page/5/mode/1up (http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/91186#page/5/mode/1up)
It's also available as a print-on-demand book. First part auf deutsch, but the main treatment is in Latin.
