fuchplaces thatgrade which inth tHifioria Lugdm. is fet forth vnder the name of Gramen Lwa 
turn Dalefchamfij .-the ftalkes and leaues are much like the common medow grade butthattheJ 
are more whitifh and hairy . thehead orpaniclcts alfo foft and woolly, and it is commonly ofa 
gray,orelfe a murrie colour. ' 
7 There is to be found in Tome bogs in Summer time about the end ofTuly a pretty rulhie 
graffe fomeioote or better m height, the ftalke is hard and rulhie, hailing lome three ioints at 
each whereof thcrecomes forth a leafc as in other graJTes, and out of thebofome of the twovo 
permoll of thefe leaues comes out a (lender lhilke being lome a or 3 inches hDb and at the too 
thereof grovves as in a little vmblc a prety white chaffie floure ; and at, or nigh to the top of the 
maine ftalke there grow three or foure inch floures cluftering together vpon little lhort and flen 
der foot ftalkesithe leaues are but final 1, and fome handfull or better long; the roote I did not ob" 
ferue. This feemestohaue fome affinitie with the Gramen jitnSytm aquaticttmfomerly deCdiibed 
in the ninth chapter. I neuer found this but once, and that was in the companie of M .Thomas 
Smith, and M . lames Clarke, Apothecaries of London; we riding into Windfore For'eftvpon 
the fearch of rare plants, and we found this vpon a bogge neere the high way fide at the corner of 
the great parke. I thinke it may very fitly becalled Gramen jtmteum Imcanthemum:' White floured 
rurh-grn.de. 
X Thelaft yeareat Margate in the Ifle of Tenet, neere to the Tea fide and by the chalky cliffe 
I obferued a pretty litle grade which from a fmall white fibrous roote fent vpa number of ftalkes 
of an vnequall height, for thelongeft, which were thofe thatlay partly fpred vpon the ground 
were lome hand full high, the other that grew ftraightvp were not fo much , and of this one inch 
and ha! fe was taken vp in the 1 pike or care,which was no thicker than the reft of the ftalke and 
feemed nothing elfe but a plaine fmooth ftalke, vnlefTe you looked vpon it earneftly and then you 
nught perceiue it to be like Darnell grafleiwherefore in the Iournall that I wrotof this Sim 
plmg voyage, I called npag.^Gramenparvtmmarmum ffica Lohacea. I iudge it to be the fame 
that B. whim in his Prodromusjag. 1 9 hath fet forth vnder the name of Gramen Loliacutm minus rbi 
ca [fimpha . It may be called in Englifh,Dwarfe DarndJ Graffe. ' 
9 f he Darnell graffe than I compared the eare offiiis Iaftdefcribedvnto, is not the Gramen 
for na intern (which our Author called Darnel-grade) but another grafTegrowing in moll places 
with ftalkes about fome fpan high, but they feldome (land vpright, the care is made iuft like that 
vvluch hereafter chap. 5 8. is called Lolium rubrtim^ Red Darnell, of which I iudge this a variety difc 
faring little therefrom but in frtialfneffe o'fgrovvth. : J 
10 V pon Hampfted heath I haue often obferued a fmall graffe whole longed leaues are fel- 
dofne aboue two or three inches high, and qhefe leaues are very greene, fmall, and perfealy round 
like the Spartum ^tuftrtacum, or Feaehtr-grafle : I could neuer finde anv ftalke or eare vpon if 
wherefore I haue brought 1 1 into the Garden to ob ferue it better. In the forementioned Iournall 
fag . 33 . you may finde it vnder.the name of Gramen Spartium capillacco folio minimum. It may be’ 
this is that graffe which Bauhmc fet forth in his Prodromns,ptur. i i .vnder the title of Gramen fp.tr- 
teum M onfpehacum capillacco folio minimum. I haue thought good in this place to explaine my mea- 
ning by thefe two names to fuch as are ftudious of plants, which may happen to light by chance 
(for they were not intended for publicke) vpon our Iournall, that they need not doubt of my 
meaning. 1 
i x I muft not paifie oner in filcnce two other Grades, which for any thing that I know are 
ftrangers with vs, the one I haue feene whith M. Parkinfon, and it is fet forth by Bauhinejar. 3 o.of 
his Vrodromus . The other by Lohell in the fecond part qfhis ^Ldverftrea,pag .468. The firff (which 
ll.tuhinc fitly calls Gramen alopccuriodes fptca ffpera, and thinkes it to be Gram. Echinatum B.tlefcham- 
pij, delcribed Hill. Lttgd. png. 432.J hath a fibrous and white root, from which arifes a ftiffe 
ftalke diuided by many knots, or knees : the leaues are like to the other fox-taile grafles,but °ree- 
neritheeareis rough, of fome inch in length, and grovves as it were vpon one fide of the ftalkeithe 
eare at firft is greensand fliewes yellovviili little flowers in Auguft. 
12 rhis opher Grade which Lohell in the quoted place figures and deferibes by the name of 
Gramen Scoparium ifehami ptmnicuUs G all, cum, hath rootes fome cubit long, (lender, and very ftiffe, 
(lor of thefe are made thehead brufhes which are vulgarly vfed) the ftraw is fiender,and fome cu- 
bit high, being heereand there ioynted like toother Graflcs : the top hath foure or hue eares 
iranding alter the manner of Cocks foot Grade, whereofit is a kinde. It growes naturally about 
Orleance, and may be called in Englifh,Brufh-grade. t
