Seller's Description
Original 1872 6 1/2 inch x 9 7/8 inch coloured print titled AGROSTIS INTERRUPTA. DENSE-FLOWERED SILKY BENT-GRASS.
Dense silky bentgrass was introduced to North America around 1900 and subsequently became an important weed of grain crops in the northwestern United States. It is less common in New England than the closely-related loose silky bentgrass (Apera spica-venti), having been found in only in Massachusetts and Maine. Both species germinate in the fall, overwinter as seedlings, and flower in the spring.
Drawn by John Edward Sowerby (1825 - 1870). A British botanical illustrator and publisher born in Lambeth, London.
From a disbound copy of English Botany; or, Coloured Figures of British Plants edited by John T. Boswell Syme
Third Edition Published in London in 1872 by by Robert Hardwicke, 192 Piccadilly.
The print is in very good condition. Reverse side blank.
