"Aristida rufescens is a grass species native to Madagascar and to Mayotte in the Comoros archipelago. It was described by German agrostologist Ernst Gottlieb von Steudel in 1854. The species is a perennial bunch grass with short rhizomes. Its culms are erect and long, with swollen nodes and hairy leaf sheaths. Leaf blades are long and 3 mm wide; they are stiff, leathery, and convolute. The inflorescence is a panicle in which each spikelet contains one fertile flower. Spikelets are lanceolate and 8.5 mm long. Upper and lower glumes have 1–2 mm long awns, and lateral lemmas have a 13–14 mm long awn, which is three-branched. The grass is a C4 plant. Aristida rufescens is one of the dominant species in the grasslands of the central high plateaus of Madagascar. It is extremely fire-tolerant; although of poor quality when mature, young resprouts after fire are protein-rich cattle feed in the September to November "hungry season". In Malagasy, it is known locally as horona, horombohitra, kofafa vavy, horombavy, or pepeka. It is used for roofing and broom-making, and its ash for medical ointments. ==References== rufescens Category:Flora of Madagascar Category:Flora of the Comoros "

"The Park Road East drill hall is a military installation in Wolverhampton. ==History== The drill hall was designed as the drill hall for 'D' Squadron of the Staffordshire Yeomanry and the 4th (Staffordshire) Battery, Royal Field Artillery and opened on 1 July 1911. With the formation of the Territorial Force in 1908, the drill hall became the home of the 3rd North Midland Brigade, Royal Field Artillery. The brigade was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 and, after being deployed to France and being re-designated 232 Brigade in May 1916, it saw action at the attack on the Gommecourt Salient in July 1916. After the war both 'D' Squadron of the Staffordshire Yeomanry and 232 Brigade were disbanded; the drill hall was decommissioned and converted into residential apartments in 2002. ==References== Category:Drill halls in England Category:Buildings and structures in Wolverhampton "
