| Remarks | ["Cynosurus cristatus L. - I have noticed, lately, the 'crested dog's-tail grass' (Cynosurus cristatus) growing abundantly in the small grass plots, in Boston, before many houses. It also occurs in Cambridge in similar situations. I inquired at one of the large seed stores in Boston, and was informed that it was mixed with other grass seeds and sold for use on lawns and the like. The species is a native of Europe and Northern Africa, and as its roots sink deep into the ground it can withstand droughts much better than many other grasses. - Walter Deane, Cambridge, Mass." Bot. Gaz. 15(7): 179. 1890] |
