What does COGON mean in Scrabble?
noun
botany
A coarse, fast-spreading tropical grass native to Asia, often used for thatching roofs.
Cogon grass grows in dense stands with sharp-edged blades and spreads aggressively through underground stems, which makes it both a traditional building material and a troublesome weed in warmer regions. In parts of Southeast Asia, dried cogon has long been bundled into roofing for houses because it sheds water well and is cheap to replace. Outside its native range, cogon is often classified as an invasive species because it crowds out native plants.
