Bear grass botanical name

[fernando at autom.etsiig.uniovi.es]

	I'm an agronomist and I have been working on cut foliage species 
during the last year. I'm very interested on finding out the botanical name 
of the grass denominated "grass bear" (or bear grass, I'm not sure) in 
order to know its soil and climate requirements to try to grow it in 
Asturias, north of Spain.

	Thanks in advance for any help
