Cane (grass)

Cane is any of various tall, perennial grasses with flexible, woody stalks, and more specifically from the genus Arundinaria . [1]

Scientifically speaking, there are either two genera from the family Poaceae . [ citation needed ] The Arundo genus is native to the Mediterranean Basin to the Far East . The genus Arundinaria is a Bamboo ( Bambuseae ) found in the New World. Neither genus includes sugarcane (Saccharum genus, Andropogoneae tribe ).

Cane commonly grows in large riparian stands known as canebrakes, found in toponyms throughout the Southern and Western United States ; they are much like the tules ( Schoenoplectus acutus ) of California .

Depending on strength, cane can be used for various purposes, including walking sticks , crutches , assistive canes or judicial or school canes . Where they are used in corporal punishment , they must meet particular specifications, such as a high degree of flexibility. Cane historically has been used as a sneaker , furniture , boats , roofs and where stiff, withy sticks can be put to good use.

Etymology

The English word cane derives from Old French cane , meaning ‘ sugarcane ‘, from Latin canna , from Ancient Greek κάννα , from Aramaic qanhā, qanyā and from Akkadian qanû , meaning ‘tube, reed’.

Other uses
