Glaga

/ˈɡlɑːɡə/ noun

Definition

A type of hardy perennial grass native to tropical regions, sometimes used for erosion control and cattle grazing.

Etymology

From Malay or other Southeast Asian language origins. The word entered English through colonial trade and agricultural practice in tropical regions.

Kelly Says

Glaga is a grass so tough it can hold hillsides together and feed cattle in harsh climates—it represents the kind of 'boring' plants that quietly solve massive agricultural problems without fanfare.
