fhorter than the calyx: valves unequal, blunt, 
awnlefs, 
A. Panicle clumfy, rather fpreading: branches, 
longer ones naked; fhorter ones crowded with 
florets at the bafe: calyx, inner valve {mooth ; 
outer ferrulated upwards. 
It generally grows on moift banks along the 
coaft. Banks along the S.W. fide of Howth, 
county of Dublin. On the banks along the coalt 
between Green-caftle and Kirkeel, county of 
Down. This grafs is by no means an indifferent 
one. I have not feen it cultivated in any great 
quantity, fo as to form a juft opinion as to its 
agricultural merit; however upon the {mall fcale 
in which feveral of the graffes are cultivated in 
the Botanic Gardens, this appears not unworthy 
of notice, as it is as luxuriant there as in its 
natural foil. On the banks on the fea fhore, this 
grafs, from its long ftems and abundant foliage, 
would appear to be extremely produstive; and I 
make no doubt but it might turn out a valuable 
{pecies, if cultivated in the interior of the country.
