(Ancient Latin name.) U 1. L. perAnne L. (Common D., Perennial Ray or Eye Grass.) Short-lived perennial; culms S-6 dm. high, glabrous; the axis , of inflorescence glabrous except the angles; leaves usually not over 4 mm. wide, folded in the bud ; glume shorter than the 8-10-flowered spikelet; lemma ahoutb-Qmm. lung, —Fields and roadsides, chiefly eastw. June. —This and the following are cultivated as meadow grasses. (Nat. from Eu.) Fig. 182. 2. L. multifl6eum Lam. (Italian Rte Grass.) Differs from the preceding in having the upper portion of the culm and the convex side of the axis of inflorescence roughened ; leaves convolute in the bud ; spikelets \0-20-flowered; lemmas 7-8 mm. long, usually at least the upper awned. (L. italicum ) — Fields and roadsides. June. (Nat. from Eu.) i/3. L. TEMULENTUM L. (Beardkd D.) Annual; culms taller; glume fully equaling the 5-"-flowered spikelets; awn longer or shorter than the lemma. — Grain flelds and waste places, rare. (Adv. from Eu.) Fig. 183. L. PESTUcicEUM Link, a glabrous perennial with approximate spikelets, or the lower remote, the glume shorter than the awnless florets, occurs occasionally on ballast and waste grounds in N. J.
