As a meadow grafs, this fpecies could not at-

mountain grounds on the furface of rocks, where 
it makes a very good appearance, but when taken 
from fuch places and planted on levels or low 
grounds, it makes but very little progrefs, as I 
have experienced in the Botanic Garden, In 
mountain grounds it is no unprofitable grafs, as 
it will grow on rocks and declivities, where other 
graffes would fail; and in fuch fituations I have 
frequently feen it eaten down by cattle, which 
were chiefly fheep; and I make no doubt but it 
is a {pecies they relifh much. Sheep, horfes, and 
cows eat it. P.’ Jaly.
