The Description.

            1. Hairy Wood-Grass hath broad rough leaves somewhat like the precedent, but much longer, and they proceed from a thready root, which is very thick, and full of strings, as the common Grass, with small stalks rising up from the same roots; but the top of these stalks is divided into a number of little branches, and on the end of every one of them standeth a little flower or husk like the top of Allium ursinum, or common Ramsons, wherein the seed is contained when the flower is fallen.

            2. Cyperus Wood-Grass hath many sheary grassy leaves, proceeding from a root made of many hairy strings or threads: among which there riseth up sundry straight and upright stalks, on whose tops are certain scaly and chaffy husks, or rather spiky blackish ears, not much unlike the catkins or tags which grow on Nut-trees, or Alder trees.

The Place, Time, and Names.

            There two grow in woods or shadowy places, and may in English be called Wood-Grass. Their time is common with the rest.

Their Nature and Virtues.

            There is nothing to be said of their nature and virtues, being as unknown as most of the former.
