Here and there on very steep hillsides, wiry, tussocky grass might be growing instead of forest or peat.
At the very bottom, almost on a level with the tussocky surface of the marsh, a barrel lay on its side, its depth leading inward.
Sometimes a brace of leverets are found in a tussocky grass clump, but these are more often allowed to remain than taken.
Just behind a tussocky bunch of grass is a favourite spot to set a noose; the grass partially conceals it.
From the sea to the Sierra Nevada stretch the pampas, all tussocky grass, thorn, guanacos and mirages.
