200 Ewavt and Tovey : 



stated to have spread from a patcli planted near a dam t\Yenty- 

 three years ago at xMinyip, and now covers several hundred acres. 

 Il7 has been found at various localities in the Winimera, including 

 Nhill, Warracknabeal, and has apparently been confused with 

 some of the numerous forms of English Rye Grass. Italian Rye 

 Grass, Western Wolths, etc. 



It is a native of South Europe, but it does not apjDear to be 

 common, or to have been investigated economically. Mr. MuUett 

 informs me that it has a high carrying capacity for stock, main- 

 tains itself readily by seed, but is injurious to wheat cultivation. 

 The grass appears to be more vigorous and larger in the Wimmera 

 than in its native home. Hence specimens were sent to Professor 

 Hitchcock, United States Agrostologist, who confirms the above 

 identification. 



It is possible that forms might be raised from this grass suitable 

 for Central Australian regions, as a drought resistant grass. In- 

 formation in regard to the properties of this grass is given by 

 Mr. ]\Iullett in the May number of the " Agricultural Journal of 

 Victoria," 1919.
