63. Festuca PRATENSISs. 
Meadow Fefcue-Gra/s. 
This is a very excellent grafs for cultivation, and 
yields to none, but Poa Pratenfis, for merit ; being 
fweet, luxuriant, and very quick in its growth; af- 
fording rich pafture, and making good hay. It 
abounds in the rich meadows about Melkfham, Lay- 
cock, and Chippenham. We have it fparingly in 
Bathwick meadows. 
64. Fesruca Evartior. 
Tall Fefcue-Gra/s. 
This is a very luxuriant and produétive grafs, but 
coarfifh; cows are fond of it, but not horfes. It 
grows in the moift, fhady borders of our beft paftures; 
e. g. Inyx, Bathwick. It grows from five to fix 
feet high.—There is a moift, fhady bank, a quarter 
of a mile out of Sherborne, in the way to Dorchef- 
ter, where I have feen it at the prodigious height 
of eight feet. 
65. Festuca DEcUMBENS. 
Heath Fefcue-Grafs. 
A harfh, unpleafant grafs, totally unworthy of 
cultivation. It grows on fwampy heaths; e.g. the 
wet parts of Maiden-Down. 
66. Festuca PINNATA. 
Spiked Wood Fefcue-Gra/s. 
More a kin to the Bromes than the Fefcues, and 
fike all that tribe unfit for ufe. Colerne-Park wood.
