i. Gramen Caninum vulgatius. Common Quich grafle. 
It is well knowne to all I thinke, that this Grade creepeth farre about under ground, with long white joynted 
rootes and (mall fibres almoft at every ;oynt,vcry fwcete in tafte (as the reft of the herbe is) and interlacing one 
another, from wheece fhoote forth many faire and long graflie leaves,fmall at the ends, and cutting or fharpe on 
the edge*:the ftalkes arc joynted like come,with the like leaves on them,and a long fpiked head,with long huskes 
on them, and hard rough feede in them. 
2. Gramen Car,mum longiw radicatum^Gr paniculatum. Quich grafle with a more fpread panicklc.
