"Grass Tree" is a word in ENGLISH
A similar Australian plant (Kingia australis).
An Australian plant of the genus Xanthorrhoea, having a
thick trunk crowned with a dense tuft of pendulous, grasslike leaves,
from the center of which arises a long stem, bearing at its summit a
dense flower spike looking somewhat like a large cat-tail. These plants
are often called \"blackboys\" from the large trunks denuded and
blackened by fire. They yield two kinds of fragrant resin, called
Botany-bay gum, and Gum Acaroides.
The values we rightly associate with the modern age - the "liberty, equality, and fraternity" of the French revolution - are all endangered today not by the dead hand of tradition but by modernity itself, and they can be salvaged only by moving beyond it.
