[" Welshpool."-Baron Sir F. von Mueller Identifies the grass you send as the Panicum cusgralli,1 a native of many of the milder regions of the world. It is a luxuriant grass in good soil, and likes humidity. Though each plant does not last long, the easy dissemination makes up for that, and stock are fond of it. This grass made its appearance on the sewage farm near Adelaide, and it yields such heavy crops that it is preferred to lucerne.]
