{{Inc|
Phleum pratense, Linn. Timothy-grass or Hurd-grass. Commonly cult, for hay and for pastures, either alone or together with red clover or other grasses. It was intro. into Md. about 1720 from Europe, where it is native, by Timothy Hanson, and hence called timothy. The other name is said to come from a man by the name of Herd, who found it growing in N. H. and began its cult. It is better adapted for hay than for pasture, and for the latter is suited to temporary rather than permanent pasture.
A. S. Hitchcock.
