200 JSwavt and Tovey : 



stated to have spread from a patch planted near a dam twenty- 

 three years ago at Minyip, and now covers several hundred ac res- 

 it? has been found at various localities in the Wimmera, including 

 Nhill, Warracknabeal, and has apparently been confused wdth. 

 some of the numerous forms of English Rye Grass, Italian Rye 

 Grass, Western Wolths, etc. 



It is a native of South Europe, but it does not appear to be 

 common, or to have been investigated economically. Mr. MuUett 

 informs me that it has a high carrying capacity for stock, main- 

 tains itself readily by seed, but is injurious to wheat cultivation. 

 The -grass appears to be more vigorous and larger in the Wimmera 

 tliaii in its native home. Hence specimens were sent to Professor 

 Hitclicock, United States Agrostologist, who confirms the above 

 identification. 



It is possible that forms might be raised from this grass suitable- 

 for Central Australian regions, as a drought resistant grass. In- 

 formation in regard to the properties of this grass is given by 

 Mr. Mullett in the May number of the " Agricultural Journal of 

 Victoria," 1919.
