"The Bamboos, in tropical countries, 

 are planted to adorn the landscape, 

 as the weeping willow is with us; and 

 a beautiful lawn, surrounded by Bam- 

 boos, such as I have seen in India, 

 even though the turf be composed 

 chiefly of Cyperoidea?, is one of the 

 most charming objects in nature." 

 (Bpt. Geo. Meyen. p. 108).
