Notes

Tran. x. p. 254.

[2] The grasses are so numerous, and the describing of them in such manner
as to be understood by an inexperienced person would be attended with
so much difficulty, that it has been considered more advantageous to
the reader, to admit, in this place, only some of the most important
kinds; and merely to speak of their uses, referring to the figures for
their further illustration.

[3] This grass has only two stamens, and consequently belongs to the class
Diandria, but it is placed here for the sake of general uniformity.

[4] Several other trees besides this produce the red kind of resin called
Dragon's Blood.
