both possess very considerable virtues
Grainer's word choices for plants are striking: considerable virtues, remarkable qualities, a prettily named plant, and extraordinary, to name a few that appear here and elsewhere.
Grainger provides much detail and what sometimes feels almost like praise and respect for individual plants. On the other hand, we learn few details about the enslaved individuals who work at the sugar cane plantation.
