There is another route to the word and this is via rhyming slang. Farmer and Henley's 1893 Dictionary of Slang defines 'grasshopper' as 'copper', that is, policeman. The theory is that a 'grass' is someone who works for the police and so has become a surrogate 'copper'. The rhyming slang was certainly believed in 1950 by the lexicographer Paul Tempest, when he wrote Lag's lexicon: a comprehensive dictionary and encyclopaedia of the English prison to-day:

A fine, silica sand that is applied to artificial grass that lies at the bottom of the pile. A sand infill is applied for a variety of reasons and offers many advantages. What shape and height is the plant? Is it erect, tufted, or droopy? Likewise, are the panicles tight or drooping, compact or loose, many branched or not?

That comes only a few years after the term grass was coined and there seems little reason to doubt it as the derivation. The original users of the term 'grass up' were from the London underworld and would have certainly been better acquainted with rhyming slang than the works of Virgil. The blades of grass grow up the culm like a tube, then grow outward. This encircling or tubular covering is known as a sheath. Sheaths may cling tight to the culm. They may be loose and inflated. This is yet another thing to look out for if you’re trying to i.d. a grass plant.Compare the size of the 2 glume scales, the number of nerves, awns or not, hairy or not. Are the palea and lemma awned or not? How many nerves do they have?

Grasses include some of the most versatile plant life-forms. They became widespread toward the end of the Cretaceous. Fossilized dinosaur dung (coprolites) have been found containing grass phytoliths ( silica stones inside grass leaves). [8] Grasses have adapted to conditions in lush rain forests, dry deserts, cold mountains and even intertidal habitats, and are now the most widespread plant type. Grass is a valuable source of food and energy for many animals. [9] Grass and people The periodic use of a garden vacuum, blower or stiff broom to keep artificial grass clean and free from debris. Good day everyone, and what a day it is. No, it’s not particularly sunny, nor am I blowing out any candles on a cake. What I am doing is reflecting on a little moment of realisation I had *a few days ago (*that could be anytime between yesterday and my birth), and this little realisation went like this: apparently not everyone knows what I’m talking about when I’m discussing their lawn and how I plan on making it great again.

To grass in British slang is indeed to inform on a person to the authorities; a grass is an informer. The noun starts to appear in print in the 1920s and the verb a few years later. We’ve since had grasser in the same sense; in the 1970s supergrass appeared for a police informer who implicated a large number of people at one go. If the flowering spike is unbranched, with each individual spikelet attached to the central stem by a stem (or rachis) it’s known as a raceme (as with Rye grass Lolium perenne and Tor grass Brachypodium pinnatum). Normally, there are three stamens bearing anthers per spikelet; these often hang out beyond the flower; look closely to find purple ones (Timothy grass and Meadow Foxtail), orange ones (Orange foxtail), white, or cream anthers (many of the Bromes). False oat grass Arrhenatherum elatius has bright yellow stamens.
