Very confusing these botanical issues - at least to me :( So let me try to =
be a bit systematically.
1) What I always have been familiar with from my childhood was that Moses h=

made of rush) - most probably, this goes back to Martin Luther's first Germ=
an translation of the Bible.
Which of course gives the useful answer. The exact species of plant is
unimportant. The point is that it is a plant used to weave a boat
from. Thus a lujvo for weave-grass, or weave-stalk, or plant-woven
material will be optimal.
