Where it comes from

From translingual Miscanthus (“genus name”).

noun miscanthuses

Any of several perennial grasses, of genus Miscanthus, native to subtropical and tropical regions of Africa and southern Asia, varieties of which are cultivated as ornamental plants or are used in agriculture (as a source of biomass for the production of biofuel, as a livestock bedding material, and as a feedstock for bioplastics).
