History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
panis, bread, because of its uses as such. Of P. miliaceum there are two varieties, the brown and yellow. They 
are sometimes sown in this country for feeding poultry, and for having the husk taken off, to be used as 
rice; but the ample supplies received from tlie shores of the Mediterranean, render the culture of the plant 
unnecessary P. arborescens, is said, by Linnaeus, to contend for height with the loftiest trees in the East In- 
dies, though the culm is scarcely thicker than a goose quill. This culm resembles that ofCommelina, and 
shoots up through the branches of trees in woods and jungles. 
145. Setaria. From seta, a bristle, on account of the bristles of the involucrum. S. italica is frequently called 
millet, and its seeds are used for tlie same purposes. S. germanica is cultivated in Hungary as food for horses, 
for which it is preferred before all other grasses. The seeds may be used as millet. Sparrows are remarkably 
fond of the seeds of S. viridis ; and, according to Curtis, this and the two preceding genera, when cultivated in 
gardens, require to be protected from them from the time they come into flower. 
146. Echinochloa. From tx^voi, a hedge-hog, and ^Xa-^, a grass, on accountof the prickly appearance of theheads of 
flowers. E. crus-galli is a coarse grass which grows thick and close, and stands dry weather better than most others.
