tussocky

Far away the coast reached out, and melted into the morning, the tussocky sandhills seemed to sink to a level with the beach.

Here and there on very steep hillsides, wiry, tussocky grass might be growing instead of forest or peat.

The white grass was tussocky and long, and the trail here and there had been churned into quagmire.

From the sea to the Sierra Nevada stretch the pampas, all tussocky grass, thorn, guanacos and mirages.

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.
