Description.
IT is well known that this Grass creepeth
far about under ground with long white
joynted Roots; and smal fibres almost at every
Joynt very sweet in tast, as the rest of the
Herb is, and interlacing one another, from
whence shoot forth many fair long grassy
Leavs, small at the ends and cutting or sharp
on the edges. The Stalks are joynted like
Corn, with the like Leavs on them, and a long
spiked Head with long Husks on them and
hard rough Seed in them.
