The specific characters of this species are much 

 the same as those of the Poa fertilis, differing in the 

 compressed figure of the straws, and creeping root 

 only. If the produce was of magnitude, it would be 

 one of the most valuable grasses; for it produces foliage 

 early in the spring, and possesses strong nutritive 

 powers.
