The grasses which serve for the subsistence of cattle are mostly perennial ; though the herbage dies at the approach ol winter, the roots live, and are ready to throw out their shoots on the return of spring. 539. Grasses are not recommended for young botanists ro analyze, because it is often difficult to distinguish the different genera, as they appear in ma...ny respects very similar, and the flowers are not showy like those of many other plants ; how- ever, you can easily distinguish the different parts of a bunch of grass, viz. : the fibrous root, the culm-like stem, the long and narrow leaves, and the flowers with their green stamens and pistils. 540. There are some coarse grass-like plants, which grow in bogs and marshes, destitute of those nourishing qualities which belong to the grasses generally ; they are known by the name of rushes, sedges, and cat-tails: most of them have tneir sta- mens and pistils on separate flowers, and are therefore placed in the class Mmictcia.
