 in its favourite habitat, which is slightly above that adopted by 

 Juncus Gerardi. It occurs often in slight hollows where the salt 

 water of very high tides collects, and as a practically pure formation, 

 recognisable from a distance by its dark colour. One may see acres 

 of land, as at Pengam, covered with it. It occurs, however, here 

 and there, in meadows at a still higher level, seldom, if ever, flooded 

 by salt water. These places may indicate a real rise in the land 

 surface. Rhymney Estuary ! Taff Estuary ! Ely Estuary ! Sully

 Estuary suggests that it may be found all round the coast.

Though common and abundant in the sense in which these 

 terms have been defined, this valuable grass is rather scarce from 

 the point of view of the farmer. Its constant occurrence in a field 

 may be accepted as satisfactory evidence of the high quality of the 

 soil.
