[From Baron Sir F. v on Mueller we received a few roots of the true Panicum s pectabi l e 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 v a l u e. It is greatly superior to the Phillip's gras s (sorghum halepense or Aleppo gra s s ) which has s o long been wrongly known here under the name Panicum spectab il e.]
