Description

This is a common perennial grass reaching one to three feet in height with long, thin, flat leaves each with a ligule of 2–4 millimetres (0.079–0.157 in). The tuft inflorescence may be up to 30 centimetres (12 in) long and is usually dense with tiny spikelets.[3] It reproduces mainly by seed, but it can also spread via rhizome. This bunchgrass occurs in many plant communities in varied climates. It is considered good forage for livestock.

gollark: See, GPS on old (non-extremely-recent-CC:T) versions actually has a cool feature.
gollark: The arguably more correct way would be an actual arithmetic parser.
gollark: The easiest way to make what you want would just be to use `load`, provide an empty environment or one with only `math` and stuff in it, and not allow putting in control structures like `function` and `while` and whatever.
gollark: That would just print whatever someone types in.
gollark: Silly Heavpoot. Just run a C++ interpreter instead.
