HE Darnel is a grass of a shining green, found naturalized 



in cultivated fields and meadows, and is sometimes called Ray 



or Rye Darnel. It is of perennial growth, the stalk being 



from one to two feet in height. The Poisonons Darnel is 



a plant similar to the above in appearance, the seeds, which 



are poisonous, distinguishing it from all other grasses or 



k grains, as it is the only one recognized with that pernicious quality. 



The seeds of the first species, in their arrangement on the stem, 



resemble the elaborate stitches in needlework called herringbone.
