asperis, ramis tenuibus, solidis, spinosis, reclinatis, a basi usque ad verticem nascentibus. Folia 
basi subrotunda, aspera. Internodia culmi saepe inveniuntur plena humore aquoso, limpido, qui 
tamen in India extra Gangem non condensatur in Tabaxir, sicut accidit, quamvis raro in Ma- 
labaria. Habitat ubique culta in Cochinchina et China, Tunkino et Cambodjia, eaque fpassim 
vallantur horti et pagi.“
