Poatrivialis, /./////. — Rough Meadow-grass, Rough-stalked Meadow- 

 grass, Green-grass, Orchiston-grass (in England), Common 

 Meadow-grass. 

 A grass similar in habit to Poa pratetisis, but with the hori- 

 zontal branches at the base on the surface (not under ground) 

 and the flowering stems rough to the touch just below the 

 panicle. It has been cultivated for a long time in England, 

 whence it has been introduced into this country. It is not 

 very well known in Tennessee. It succeeds best where the soil 

 and climate are moist, and can hardly be recommended for this 

 State.
