This grass is inferior in many respects to the 

 Phleum pratense. It is sparingly found in meadows. 

 From the number of bulbs which grow out of the 

 straws, a greater portion of nutritive matter might 

 have been expected. This seems to prove, that these 

 bulbs do not form so valuable a part of the plant as 

 the joints, which are so conspicuous in the Phleum 

 pratense, the nutritive powers of which exceed those of 

 the P. nodosum; as 8 to 28.
