Elymus (Lyme Grass). E. arenarius is a wild British grass, vigorous and distinct, which, if planted in deep soil near the margin of a shrubbery, or on a bank on the grass, makes an effective plant, growing 4 feet high, and as we should cultivate it for the leaves, there would be no loss if the flowers were removed. It is frequent on our shores, but more abundant in the north than in the south. E. condensatus (Bunch Grass) is a vigorous perennial grass from British Columbia, forming a dense, compact, column-like growth, and more than 8 feet high. It is covered from the base almost to the top with long, arching leaves, and in the flowering season is crowned with erect rigid spikes 6 1/2 inches long, so that it resembles an elongated ear of wheat. It is very ornamental, and may be grown in the same way as the Lyme Grass.
