1 gen 1642 anni - penny grass
Descrizione:
A popular name for several different plants, influenced by the shape of the leaves or seed-pods. Henry Best was probably referring to the meadow plant yellow-rattle when he wrote: 1642 <i>soe soone as the pennie-grasse beginne to welke and seeme dry, then is it time to beginne to mowe,</i> Elmswell (DW33). This was widely-held farming wisdom, articulated in 1613 by Markham in The English Husbandman.
