canebrake

On the edge of the canebrake a thicket of papaw and blackberry vines added rankness and forest secrecy.

Presently they came to a species of canebrake, very dense and high; there was no green in sight, only the canes.

Now and then they passed thickets of canebrake, and once, at the side of a stream, they came to a salt "lick."

The grass was high and thick and the canebrake was so dense that passage through it seemed impossible.

Then it was covered with magnificent forest and now they threaded their way through the dense canebrake.
