Answer
Dear Meridione, your plant is Sisyrinchium angustifolium (narrow-leaved blue-eyed-grass). This species typically dries very dark (dark olive green or dark gray-green), so you can confirm the identification by examining it when it is completely dry. The other species of Sisyrinchium with pedunculate flowers (that gives the appearance of a branched stem) only slightly darken in drying.
