במינו היו אוגדין אותו למטה – to fulfill the commandment of tying/binding, and this is for merely beauty, for Rabbi Yehuda according to his reasoning who said that a Lulav requires a bind, therefore, if he binds it with something not of its species, he would have five species (instead of four), and we hold that a Lulav does not require a band, therefore in this, the Halakha is according to Rabbi Meir.
בגימוניות של זהב. חוטי זהב כפופין כגימון, כמו הלכוף כאגמון (ישעיהו נ״ח:ה׳), וסובבין האגודה:
במינו היו אוגדין אותו למטה. לקיים מצות אגד. וזה לנוי בעלמא הוה. ורבי יהודה לטעמיה דאמר לולב צריך אגד, הלכך אי אגיד ליה שלא במינו הוו להו ה׳ מינין. ואנן קיי״ל דלולב א״צ אגד הלכך בהא הלכה כר״מ:
