From the farmer's point of view, rather scarce. The upland 

 pastures are therefore of poor quality, and consequently shrubby 

 plants like the heather and bilberry are cropped close by the sheep. 

 Ed. The viviparous form occurs on Cefn Bryn. Gutch. Phyt. 1842. 

 p. 182. The varieties tenuifolia and major, Syme, occur in the county. 

 Ed. 



1827. rubra, Linn. 



Common. Abundant. Native. Littoral, etc. 



The varieties or " elementary species " of the two preceding species 

 are, I believe, numerous ; and as both types are of considerable 

 economic importance, should be thoroughly investigated. The two 

 species are readily separable by their mode of growth, but the 

 varieties are not easily defined and classified. It is not improbable 

 that the same variety has several different forms adapted to different 

 habitats. F. rubra a.nd its iorms occur in pastures, meadows, and on 

 arable lands ; on the estuary muds, on coast rocks and cliffs, and 

 on maritime sands. The forms arenaria and pruinosa occur all round 

 the coast. 



1830. sylvatica, Vill. Wood Fescue-grass. 

 Rare. Scarce. Native. Sylvestral. 

 Ystalyfera. Ridd.
