YELLOW OAT-GRASS. (Curtis, Hudson, Withering and Lightfoot.J 
The Yellow Oat-Grafs is one of the leaft of the Genus. It chiefly affedls dry paftures; and generally accom¬ 
panies the fmaller Felcue and the crefted Dogftail. The befl: /heep-paftures are principally occupied by thele 
three Grades. The yellownels of the panicles when the feed approaches towards ripenefs, readily points out this 
Grafs. The feed when ripe does not immediately part from the hulks and therefore the collector of it need not 
be io particular as to the exad time of gathering it. 
Its Tips are purple. 
The beginning of July is the feafon of its flowering. 
For further remarks on the Yellow Oat fee Curtis's Flora Londinenlis.
