and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
201. Bactyloctenium. The spikes are digitate, or disposed like one's fingers {ha.xrv'koi, a finger). 
202. Leptochloa. From XiWTo?, slender, and ;t^<"?> grass, on account of its heads. 
203. Cynodon. VLvmv, x.vvo;, a dog, and ohn?, a tooth ; wherefore we know not. Cynodon linearis, the Agros- 
tis linearis of Konig!, is the famous durva grass of the Hindoos, for which, see Lambert in the Linn, trans, vii. 
No. 22. 
204. Dinebra. Its Arabic name. 
205. Echinaria ; Ix'yo?, a hedge-hog : the prickly round heads may be fancied to resemble little hedge- 
hogs. 
206. Triiicum. According to Varro, was so named from its grain being originally worn down (trituni) in 
making it eatable. This is by far the most important genus of the Graminea;, as including the wheats, the 
flour of which is universally allowed to make the best bread in the world. For what is man upon rice or po- 
tatoes ?
