CCLVIII. i. Gramen Semitale,vel Muriate majus , 
Gramen Hordeium , vel magis Secalinum majus. The 
greater Way Grafs or Wall-Grafs , Barley-like-Grafs, 
or rather Rye-Grafs. It has a bufhy and fibrous 
Root, which perifiies not in Winter, tho’ never fo 
cold, from which fpring up many Grafs Leaves, 
but fomewhat harder in feeling , and not altogether 
fo juicy ; from among thefe green Leaves fpring up 
feveral Benty Stalks, a Foot or more high, having 
fome few Joints on them , with Leaves thereat , e- 
very one of which bears at the top a fmall , long , 
whitilh, yellow Ear, an Inch and half, two or three 
Inches long, having fome Awnes or Beards, within 
which are contained fmall , long , lank Seeds or 
Grain : This Ear Authors think has fome refemblance 
of Barley, but it much more relembles Rye. and 
therefore may not improperly be called Rye- Grafs.

Gramen Hordeium , vel Secalinum minus , The lejfer 
Way or Wall, Barley or Rye-Grafs. It is in its Roots, 
Stalks, Leaves, Ears, and manner of growing very 
like the former , but it is fhorter and lower , and 
looks as if it was a Dwarf -Grafs of the fame kind; 
I know many have taken it to be the fame, but it 
does really differ, the Stalk is feldom above nine or

or four Inches long, bearded, and very like unto an 
Ear of Ryv. 
CCLXI. 4. Gramen Semitale magnum,vel Gramen 
Secalinum minus , The great , or rather lejfer Rye- 
Grafs. The Root in this is wholly Fibrous , but 
otherwife it differs not from the former, laving that 
it is every ways lefs, and the Eat (very like to Rye) 
is many times not above half the length of the for- 
mer. 
CCLXIf. The Places and Times. They grow 
upon wafte and unfilled Grounds, by Ways and Path
