5*82 OBSERVATIONS ON GRASSES, 
bay which comes to London is from the meadows i 
where this grafs abounds. I faw this fpring a 
meadow not far from Hampftead , which confifted 
of this grafs chiefly with fome of the vernal grafs 
and the corn brome grafs . This grafs is fcarce in 
many parts of England, particularly Herefordfhire , 
Berkfhire and Norfolk. It might be gathered at 
almojl any time of the year from hay ricks , as it does 
not fhed its feeds Without rubbings which is the cafe 
of but few graffes .

This is alfo found in the meadows about town, 
that are found but lye under water in the winter, 
and perhaps might be proper to fow on fuch 
grounds.
