This species is annual, and no valuable properties 

 have as yet been discovered in the seed. It is only 

 noticed on account of its being frequently found in 

 poor grass lands, and sometimes in meadows. It 

 appears from the above particulars to possess nu- 

 tritive powers equal to some of the best perennial 

 kinds, if taken when in flower; but if left till the 

 seed be ripe (which, fi-om i(s early growth, is fre- 

 quently the case), the crop is convparatively of no 

 value, "the leaves and straws being then completely 

 dry.
