¶ The Description.
1 BEarded Panicke grasse hath broad and large leaues like barly, somwhat hoa∣rie, or os an oner-worne russet colour. The stalkes haue two or three ioynts at the most, and many 〈◊〉〈◊〉 on the top, without order; vpon some stalkes more 〈◊〉〈◊〉 on others fewer, much like vnto the eare of wilde Panicke, but that this hath many 〈◊〉〈◊〉 or awnes, which the other wants.
2 Small Pannicke Grasse, as Lobelius wri∣teth, in roots, leaues, ioynts, and stalkes is like the former, sauing that the eare is much lesse, consisting of fewer rowes of seed, contained in small chaffie blackish huskes. This, as the former, hath many eares vpon one stalke.
‡ 3 This small Pannicke Grasse from a threddy root sendeth forth many little stalkes, whereof some are one handfull, other-some little more than an inch high; and each of these stalkes on the top sustaines one single eare, in shape 〈◊〉〈◊〉 like vnto the eare of wilde Pannicke, but about halfe the length. The stalkes of this are com∣monly crooked, and set with grassie leaues like to the rest of this kinde. The figure hereof wàs vn∣fitly placed by our Author in the sixteenth place in the eighth chapter, vnder the title of Gramen 〈◊〉〈◊〉 spicatum.
