others by the hairyness of its stalks. It is found in copsewood in clayey moist soils. Bromus gigantcus partly 
resembles it. 
185. Brachypodium. From /3,j«%y?, short, and •mg, a foot, in allusion to the short stalks of the spikelets. An 
artificial genus, made up of various species of Bromus, Festuca, and Triticum of former writers. 
186. Uniola. Named by Linnaus, on account of the union of the glumes. A fine N. American genus, re-

187. Tricuspis. A word signifying three points, in allusion to the structure of its flower. This grass is called 
Red-top \\\ the southern states of N. America. Pursh says, " a most excellent grass. 1 have seen mountain- 
meadows in Pennsylvania where they mow this grass twice a-year, producing most excellent crops each time 
without manure or any other trouble than the mov/ing, lasting for the space of sixteen years without the least 
oecline m the crops, the soil at the same time being a very indifferent one."
