HE Darnel is a grass of a shining green, found naturalized 
in cultivated fields and meadows, and is sometimes called Ray 
or Rye Darnel. It is of perennial growth, the stalk being 
from one to two feet in height. The Poisonons Darnel is 
a plant similar to the above in appearance, the seeds, which 
are poisonous, distinguishing it from all other grasses or 
grains, as it is the only one recognized with that pernicious quality. 
The seeds of the first species, in their arrangement on the stem, 
resemble the elaborate stitches in needlework called herringbone.
