Bear Grass
Plants, Uses, & Facts
bear grass, (genus Xerophyllum), also spelled beargrass, either of two species of North American plants constituting the genus Xerophyllum of the family Melanthiaceae. Despite their common name and grasslike leaves, the plants are not true grasses. Both species, common bear grass (Xerophyllum tenax) and turkey beard (X. asphodeloides), are used by Native Americans for basketry, and the woody rootstock is edible.
