Sword grass
Sword grass may refer to:
- Some species of grasses with blades that are sharp enough to cut human skin (this is because they contain many silica phytoliths, a hardening material in many plants. The sharp blades help to discourage herbivores from grazing (also protecting the grasses around it)), including:
- Gahnia species
- Imperata cylindrica (Cogon grass)
- Poa ensiformis
- Species of moth:
- Xylena exsoleta (Sword-grass)
- Xylena vetusta (Red Sword-grass)
