III. Semi-cultivated Plants. 

 These are not cultivated like field crops but have a market-value 

 and are of more or less economic importance. Some grow without 

 attention, in a more or less wild state, when once introduced into un- 

 cultivated lands, such as Dabh (Eragrostis cynosuroides) and Dabhi or 

 Ulu (Imperata arundinacea) extensively used as thatching grass. Kama 

 (Saccharum arundinaceum) is grown in the same manner as bamboos 

 and their top portions are used for making munj ropes and lower portions 

 in thatches and walls of huts. Sar (Saccharum arundinaceum Tar. ciliaris) 

 and Ilcri (Saccharum jusciim) are also grown in the same way as bamboos 

 and are used in thatches and walls of huts. Batri (Saccharum spontaneum 

 batri) is also grown practically in the same manner but is of a more wild 

 nature. It too is used in thatches and walls of huts. Rarhi or the proper 

 Kans grass (Saccharum spontaneum rarhi) is, as is well known, a wild 

 _grass and troublesome weed which has invaded and occupied large tracts
