Grass
the botanical order Graminaceæ, a very extensive and important GRASS HEMP order of endogenous plants, comprising about 250 genera and 4,500 species, including many of the most valuable pasture plants, all those which yield grain, the sugar-cane, bamboo, etc. In its popular use the term grass is chiefly applied to the pasture grasses as distinct from the cereals, etc.; but it is also applied to some herbs, which are not in any strict sense grasses at all, e. g., ribgrass, scurvy, and whitlow grass.
