Currentgrass
Named because of the way it moves in the wind, currentgrass is the most common plant in the Liltgale Isles. It is used mainly for weaving, as burning it produces too much smoke to do much besides make signals, which are not commonly used in Arheim.
Basic Information
Anatomy
Currentgrass is a four foot high, yellow-green grass with thin stalks that rely on one another to stay upright. This is even more important when they go to seed, as the pods containing the seeds grow in the center of the plant on a single long piece of grass slightly stronger than the others. At the edges of a field of currentgrass the stalks lay on the ground because of their weight.
Genetics and Reproduction
Spreads using seeds that float in the wind during Pull and by spreading its roots out, reproducing asexually, year round. With both of these methods the grass can cover a square mile of open terrain in two years using just one tuft in the center.
Growth Rate & Stages
Off the archipelago a tuft of currentgrass takes around two months to reach full height, but on it a tuft can grow in just over a month.
Ecology and Habitats
The grass does best in warm, damp climates, but can not handle flooding. It also needs to be in a specific type of soil found mostly on the Liltgale Isles. This is the only thing keeping the grass from taking over Hazra's floodplains.

Uses, Products & Exploitation
Currentgrass is excellent for weaving, and the tabaxi tribes commonly use it as a construction material.
