To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The young branches, which are very thickly clothed with leaves, grow rather upwards at first, but soon all become prostrate, and cross and interlace, forming a close matted tuft, whence comes, in fact, the name it bears in Sweden Matte-grass, or mat-grass. These stems are densely clothed with small, narrow lan- ceolate, flattish leaves, which remain fresh through the winter; they are smooth on the margin, or very slightly toothed, and terminate in a long white filamentous point, which gives the... branches a somewhat hoary appearance. The upright stalks supporting the spikes are bare of leaves, but have at intervals whorls of smaller bodies closely pressed to the stalk, and tipped with shorter but broader membra- nous chaffy processes; they are also of a pale yellowish- green colour. The spikes of fructification are usually over an inch in length, and are supported by a stalk of about twice their own length. They are commonly produced in pairs, though sometimes singly, and occasionally three together on the same stalk.
