Pingrass

Besides their weapons and feather blankets, they manufacture from pingrass very excellent baskets, called “coras,” of all sizes, generally of a conical shape, and so finely worked that they hold water.

I remember the jackass that used to eat pingrass;

...she presents a pingrass, on which the cattle still thrive ; and when this fails, it has already dropped a seed even more nutritious than the stem which sustained its bulbous cradle.
