The proportional value which the grass of the latter-math 
bears to that at the time of flowering, is as 5 to 14, and to 
that at the time the seed is ripe, 5 to 6. 
The above particulars will confirm the favourable opi- 
nion which was given of this grass when speaking of the 
Festuca hordiformis , and F. glabra . Its produce in the 
spring is not very great, but of the finest quality, and at the 
time of flowering is considerable. If it be compared with 
those affecting similar soils, such as Poa pratensis , Festuca 
ovina , &c. either considered as a grass for hay, or permanent 
pasture, it will be found of greater value.

This species in its natural state seems confined to woods 
as its place of growth ; but the trial that is here mentioned, 
confirms the opinion that it will grow and thrive in open 
exposed situations. It is remarkable for the lightness of 
the produce, in proportion to its bulk. It produces foliage
