Fowl meadow-grass (Pnn triflora) and enlarged epikelet. Fig. 553. Rough-stalked meadow - grass (I'oa triiialis) and enlarged spikelet. while in nemoralis it is scarcely measurable. This species is native in the northern part of America as well as in Europe. It has been incorrectly re- ferred to , Linn. Sometimes known as false red-top. trivialis, Linn. Rough-stalked Meadow-grass. (Fig. .553.) In general appearance much resembling P. pratensis, but usually with a larger and more spreading panicle. It differs in the absence of well- developed rootstocks, in the sheaths rough to the touch (hence the common name), and in the glabrous marginal nerves of the lemma. Occasionally grown in mixtures for meadows. A native of Europe but escaped from cultivation in the northeastern states. It is adapted to .shaded situations. 25. Festuca (Latin, straw). A genus of about eighty species of mostly perennial grasses, scat- tered over all parts of the globe but chiefly in tem- perate regions. Spikelets several-flowered, glumes narrow and acute ; lemmas rounded on the back, or keeled at apex, often awned from the tip, faintly three- to five-nerved, rather hard in texture. In- florescence from a narrow raceme to a spreading panicle. elatior, Linn. Tall Fescue. A tall grass (three to four feet) with large flat leaves, large but rather narrow panicle and large, five- to ten-flowered, awnless spikelets (about one-half inch long). Native
