HAIR-GRASS

Hair-grass (Aira) is a genus of grasses belonging to that division of the order in which the spikelets have two or more florets, and the inflorescence is a loose panicle. It is of little use for cattle, which dislike it, but may serve where covert is wanted for game. Aira coespitosa, or tufted hair-grass, the windiestrae of the Scotch, was formerly used as thatch for ricks, and in some places for making mats.
