134 DACTYLIS GLOMERATA. 



Keel hirsute. Inner palea membranous. Length two to three feet. 

 Root perennial, fibrous, and tufted. 



Although a coarse Grass, still it must be looked upon as one of 

 our most productive species, and when young, cattle will feed upon 

 it readily. It will grow in almost any situation, from a wood to an 

 open waste. 



Dactylis glomerata continues flowering from June to August. 



The specimen illustrated was gathered at Highfield House.
