This is thicker, fofter, and more loofe than our com- ^ emar \ St 
mon Crefied Grafs, and in fpike more nearly relembles 
our yellow Spring Grafs : Dr Zuinger , Phyfician, and Son 
to the famous Profeffor of that Name, a very accurate 
Botanift, hath lately, amongft other curious Plants, fent 
me this Grafs, which he gathered on the billy Meadows 
about Baft, where Cafpar Bauhine firft difcovered it. He 
fays it grows with the common, but more rarely ; the 
fame found in the Woods there, he obferves to fport or 
vary in its fpike, viz. fome more loofe and greenifh, 
others thicker and yellowilh $ the Leaves and Stalks in 
fome are hairy, in others fmooth. Dr John Jacob Scheut • 
zer, that Curious Naturalift, has alfo obferved it about places.
