tussock


Explanation:
Tussock is the common name of a particular type of grass, and apparently not always the same scientific name; it's applied to different species in different locations. In the case of South Georgia, the following information (in Spanish) lists the scientific name, but does not translate the common name, which is what I suggest:

La región es notablemente pobre en plantas con flor. No existen árboles, hay algunos arbustos achaparrados, pero existen grandes matas de pasto tussock (poa flabellata / paradiochloa flabellata) de 1,5 m de alto, y otras hierbas y plantas menores.
