At the Pokelogan, apparently Cinna arundinacea (?) in prime (one stamen); also Elymus Virginias (?).
Lyme grass or wild rye, apparently lately done.
That rich, close, erect-panicled grass of the meadows, apparently for a month in bloom, seems to be Glyceria obtusa. Very common in the meadow west of Brooks Clark’s.
H. D. Thoreau, Journal, September 2, 1858
That rich, close, erect-panicled grass very common in the meadow west of Brooks Clark’s. See September 14, 1858 ("The Glyceria obtusa, about eighteen inches high, quite common, in the meadow west of Brooks Clark’s, has turned a dull purple, probably on account of frosts")
