[From Baron Sir F. von Mueller we received a few roots of the true Panicum spectabile or Coapim grass, which were at once given to one or two residents in the north, where the grass is most likely to be of value. It is greatly superior to the Phillip's grass (sorghum halepense or Aleppo grass) which has so long been wrongly known here under the name Panicum spectabile.]
