Usages

Arundinaria macrosperma Michx. LARGE CANE. North America. This is the species of cane which forms cane brakes in Virginia, Kentucky and southward. Flint [1], in his Western States, says: "It produces an abundant crop of seed with heads very like those of broom corn. The seeds are farinaceous and are said to be not much inferior to wheat, for which the Indians and occasionally the first settlers substituted it."

  1. Flint, T. West. States 1: 80, 81. 1828.
