Wīwī

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wīwī is a common name for several species of New Zealand rushes and sedges whose individual plants grow as a clump with wire-like stems. The name wīwī has been adopted in English from the Māori language.

The name wīwī is sometimes used for a tussock grass with narrow wire-like leaves, though is more usual for this.
