Agropyrum repens

Agropyrum repens
Quitch grass Quitch" grass` (kw[i^]ch" gr[.a]s`). [Properly quick grass, being probably so called from its vigorous growth, or from its tenacity of life. See {Quick}, and cf. {Couch grass}.] (Bot.) A perennial grass ({Agropyrum repens}) having long running rootstalks, by which it spreads rapidly and pertinaciously, and so becomes a troublesome weed. Also called {couch grass}, {quack grass}, {quick grass}, {twitch grass}. See Illustration in Appendix. [1913 Webster]
