undergrowth

I understand that sometimes undergrowth has to be cleared to ensure that the healthiest trees grow big and strong.

But I admit that I first make my way through a fast-growing undergrowth of business.

The advance had to be carefully made, for the country was rough, wooded, and covered with a dense undergrowth of bushes.

In the dense undergrowth hummed and rustled a hidden life of greater mystery.

Then all this stopped and on the wet undergrowth again there was a movement like the zig-zag stripe of the tiger's skin.

I could feel in the distance the shiver of the undergrowth of grass and saplings indicating the way the animals had passed.

At the end of ten minutes, leaving the undergrowth, David ran across a prairie which ended with the bluff of the river.
