History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
183. Mygalurus. Named by Link, from /jLuyctX-/], a mouse, and i^a, a tail. An alteration of the previous 
specific name of one of the species, Festuca myurus, L. A natural genus, better distinguished by natural than 
by artificial characters. 
184. Bromus. B^m/xos is the name given by the Greeks to a sort of wild oat. Most of the species of this genus 
are of a coarse quality, and being strictly annuals are of little value as pasture, and as hay produce no after 
math. Sir H. Davy found that the nutritive powers of the straws and leaves of most of the species were greatest 
when the plant is coming into flower ; because, like all other plants strictly annual, or which do not shoot up 
again from the root the same season, when left till the seed is ripe, the leaves and straws become dried up. 
B. secalinus is often found among rye and wheat crops ; the seeds when ground among the flour are said to 
impart a bitter taste to bread, and to have similar narcotic qualities as Lolium temulentum. In Scania, the 
panicles are used to dye green ; and there, as formerly in Britain, rye was supposed to degenerate into this 
grass. The seeds of B. mollis are said to bring on giddiness in the human species and quadrupeds, and to be 
fatal to poultry. B. asper is the tallest of British grasses ; it has had many names, but is distinguished from all
