TRIANDRIA DIGYNIA. 117 
the fpiket. Corolla, inner valve fmalleft, cili- 
ated, concave. 
L. Spike awnlefs, cylindrical: {pikets three- 
flowered. 
It generally grows in dry paftures, and on 
declivities. On the lands about Collon, Tinure, 
and Fuinfog, county of Louth. Above Scrib- 
ble’s-town, near the Obfervatory, where it had 
been previoufly obferved by Doétor Brinkley, 
county of Dublin. It is a flender grafs in its 
leaves, ftems and fpikes, and very little infe- 
rior to the former, except that it is fmaller 
in every refpec. 
I prefume it is only a variety of the for- 
mer; for although I have frequently found it 
with its fpikets containing but three florets, 
‘yet when I introduced and cultivated it in the 
Gardens, its fpikets produced five florets, and 
the whole plant appeared very little inferior 
to the Lolium perenne. Perhaps this may be 
attributed to change of foil. Cattle eat it.
