PERENNIAL RYE GRASS. 
( L olium Pei enne.) 
NOTE that the ear or panicle is flat, as if it had been pressed ; that the spikelets (of which 24 are shown in the 
right-hand specimen) are attached edgewise and arise alternately on each side of the stem, and have no stalks ; that 
each spikelet is made up of one outer glume (most grasses have two) and a number of florets. Each leaf has a bold 
midrib extending along the back ; and, at its base, close to the root -stock, the leaf is doubled on itself, so that the leaf- 
sheaths are flattened, whilst their colour becomes reddish or purplish. Perennial Rye Grass is extensively used in 
alternate husbandry, and it is an abundant constituent in all prime old pastures.
