DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF FORTY-EIGHT SEEDLING GRASSES. 1. Perennial rye-grass (Loiium percnne; fig. 5). A perennial, glabrous, dark-green, tufted grass; leaves folded in the bud; collar narrow, glabrous; auricles small, slender, clawlike; ligule membranous, short, obtuse, toothed near the tip; sheaths reddish below ground, smooth; blades flat, prominently nerved above, glossy and smooth beneath, long-linear, about one-eighth inch or more wide, sharp pointed. This grass makes considerable winter growth in the Southern States and starts growth early in the spring. It closely resembles Italian rye-grass and meadow fescue when young, from which it is readily distinguished by its folded leaf Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original United States.
