TRIANDRIA DIGYNI4S, of 
P. Panicle flender, tapering: {pikets moftly two- 
flowered, rough, pointed: ftems and leaves 
flender: fheath-fcale very fhort, notched. 
It grows in woods and fhady places. In Lut- 
trell’s-town wood, county of Dtblin. In the 
woods about Roftrever, and the wood on the 
fide of Knockcree, county of Down—woody 
mountains about Knappen, county of Antrim. 
Either wild-or cultivated, in both which ftates I 
have feen it grow, ‘I confider it as a good and 
beneficial grafs; and, although flender in its 
Jeaves and flems, it is pretty tall, and) produces 
both in great plenty. From fome obfervations I 
have made in the Botanic. gardens, in the far- 
mer’s divifion, where there are plots 20 feet 
{quare, in which are cultivated feveral of the 
graffes feparately, I have remarked ‘this grafs to 
hold its plot, and without any way appearing to 
decline during the fucceflive years it has occupied 
it, whilft others from their declining {tate were 
obliged to be renewed. It alfo produces a fecond 
crop not much inferior to the firft; a property 
which makes it .the more valuable as an after- 
grafs. If an equal quantity of this grafs and of 
the Avena flavefcens were mixed with double the 
I quantity 
nemoralis.
