Arundo^5«^;,y, Syjl. PL u 227. Fl. Coch. i. 69. Hort. Cliff. 26. Of- 

 beck's Tra'vels, i. 25. — This is the Kaneh of the Hebrews. My friend 

 the Rev. Samuel Dickinfon's remarks on this article are worthy the 

 reader's attention. " This fpecies grows in the warmer parts of £//- 

 " rope, and alfo in India and China, and is much ufed for walking 

 " flicks and fifliing rods. This is a fragile ilaff, and the only cane ia 

 " ufe that has that property. Upon an accidental bruife it will break 

 " in fliivers. It is the Kaneh of the Hebrews ; and from its brittle 

 " quality we fee the propriety of Rabfhakah's allufion, 2 Kings, 

 " xviii. 21. ' Now behold thou trufteft upon the flaff of this 

 " * bruifed reed (kaneh), even upon Egypt, on which if a man 

 " ' lean, it will go into his hand and pierce it ; fo is Pharaoh king 

 " * of Egypt unto all that trull on him.' The Hebrew word 

 " having been introduced not only into the Greek and Latin, but 

 " moft of the modern languages of Europe. The Spaniards call it 

 "' Cannas, and the Italians Canna. It gave the name of Cane to 

 *' all the fHcks which refembled it, when they were iirit imported 

 •• by the Dutch, &c. from the Eafl Indies."
