Thanks Nick.
"Miscanthus is a tall perennial grass that has been evaluated in Europe during the past 5-10 years as a new bioenergy crop. It is sometimes confused with elephant grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and has been called both "elephant grass" and "E-grass". Most of the miscanthus cultivars proposed as a commercial crop in Europe are sterile hybrids (Miscanthus x giganteus) which originated in Japan. A number of ornamental varieties of miscanthus are also known to exist under various common names. Miscanthus can be harvested every year with a sugar cane harvester and can be grown in a cool climate like that of northern Europe. Like other bioenergy crops, the harvested stems of miscanthus may be used as fuel for production of heat and electric power, or for conversion to other useful products such as ethanol. "
