| The unwooded portions of the table-lands are covered with cogon and similar wild grasses. |
| More rocks, with occasional thermal heat, and thick cogon grasses beckoned as we dragged ourselves up, fatigue starting to catch up. |
| I climb down to the little settlement where my friend is working in front of a small wooden hut, called a bale, raised on poles and thatched with cogon grass. |
| The country is fairly open, as there is no thick forest, but only scrub and cogon, or elephant grass. |
| Along the edge of the cogon lands are many large buri palms, from which a starch commercially known as sago is secured. |
| The first leg of the climb consists of wading through giant cogon grasses on a steep, exposed trail. |
