History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
P. abyssinica is grown as a bread-corn in Abyssinia, and furnishes the teff bread ; that made from wheat 
being used only by the superior ranks. The dough is allowed to turn sour, and by generating carbonic acid gas, 
answers instead of yeast ; it is then baked into circular cakes, which are white, spongy, of a hot disagreeable 
sourish taste, but light of digestion. The same bread, well toasted, and infused in water for some days, fur- 
nishes the bouza or common beer of the country, like the quas {sour, Rus.) of Russia. 
197. Eragrostis. An elegant appellation derived from i^o? and oij^gos"'?, Love-grass. The pretty dancing 
spikelets are the delight of children, and remembered by men long after many of their other innocent pleasures 
have ceased to retain their charm. The plants resemble the Briza or quaking-grass. 
198. Megastachya. From f^iya.;, large, and 5-ccx"^> a spike, on account of the large panicles of the genus. 
199. Sclerochloa. Hard-grass {(rxX-^eo?, rigid, and x^'>'^i grass). A genus of hard worthless grasses. 
200. Eleusine. Eleusis was one of the appellations of Ceres, the goddess of grasses. E, coracana, according 
to Thunberg, is cultivated in Japan for its edible seeds.
