Awis grass or tiger grass (Thysanolaena maxima) is a species of plant in the Poaceae, a large, perennial grass, growing in dense clumps, similar in morphology to bamboo but smaller in size, the flower stalks are collected and used to make broom.
T. maxima has an erect stem, up to 3 meters high, hard, has segments, has no branches and is dark green and black in color. The reed is solid, solid and not hollow.
Leaves are lanceolate-oval and broad, stiff, up to 60 cm long, up to 10 cm wide, rounded base, pointed tip, a vein in the middle, the upper surface is dark green and rough, the lower surface is pale green and a horizontal mark forms a mold in the middle.
The inflorescences are in large panicles and open at the end of the stem as terminals, oval or ovate, 30-60 cm wide, up to 60 cm long. Each node has a branch, the lower part is free of spikelets.
This plant grows in clusters or in association with groups of trees or bamboo forests on mountain slopes, cliffs between rocks, bushes, forest edges, grasslands and riverbanks at an elevation of 1500 meters.
Awis grass is used to resist erosion and prevent landslides, planted for fences and ornamental plants. The young leaves are used as a mixture of animal feed, panicles are used in making brooms.
