The grass has stripes of sorts but has very sharp leaves that slice as you walk past them. The stems are also sharp and hazardous after being cut. The stalk is rigid and the cut pattern is normally angled down to give the remaining portion of the plant a sharp edge sticking up from the ground.

It's main use is the base material for making brooms.
