herbage

Herbs collectively.

Herbaceous plant growth, especially grass.

I threw myself upon my face, and clung to the scant herbage in an excess of nervous agitation.

The dank breath of herbage, sodden with rain, came to her; the mists were barely visible, hovering above the dark ravines.

The fleshy, often edible, parts of plants.

The natural pasture of a land, considered as distinct from the land itself; hence, right of pasture (on another man's land).
