1 This species is often cultivated on wet meadows. It is known also under the name of Bent grass. 

 The name of Herd grass, which it bears also sometimes, belongs to Phleum pratense. The white Bent 

 grass, Agrostis alba, L., was formerly celebrated under the name of Tiorin grass. It is not better grass 

 than this. The hay of the Red top is good, but short and thin.
