Cows, goats & swine eat it-horses not fond of it. Aira flexuora-Horses, swine & sheep eat it. Sorghum nutans-Native also of Jamaica Andropogon alopennoides-also of Jamaica Anthox odoratum, "Calyx (glume/scattered over with minute yellow dots, similar to those of the black currants, whence possibly its peculiar scent" Briza maxima Linn.

When it has once got possession of the soil, it will form so thick a turf, as to suffer few intruding weeds, and may be kept in order with little trouble. For this purpose it must be sown about the middle of August, in an open but not too dry situation, broad cast, and thickly on [the] ground nicely prepared & leveled. Festuca duriuscula-Suited for dry pastures. | p.2Martyn-in Millers Gardeners & Botanist's Dictionary London 1807 Agrostis Indica-Native of India- Introduced in Eng. 1773 by John Earl of Bute Ait.
