draw-ling n.

Brit.

/ˈdrɔːlɪŋ/

U.S.

/ˈdrɔˌlɪŋ/

/ˈdrɑˌlɪŋ/

Scottish (southern) and English regional (Northumberland) any of several sedges (family Cyperaceae) found throughout the Holarctic; esp. the cotton grass Eriophorum vaginatum and the deergrass Trichophorum cespitosum. [So called (to distinguish the plants from other kinds of ling) because when grazed by sheep the tender stems are tugged or drawn out rather than bitten (compare quot. 1815); compare also Scots (southern) pull-ling (1794) and (south-western) draw-moss (1894), both denoting the cotton grass Eriophorum vaginatum.]

1811 W. Aiton Gen. View Agric. Ayr 475 Heather and the draw-ling (Scirpus cæspitosus) are the chief plants that the sheep can eat.

1815 Wks. of Alexander Pennecuik 54 Note: Draw-ling (the Eriophorum Vaginatum Linnaei, Bog Cotton, or Moss-crop) succeeds it in March, so designed because the sheep, without biting, seize tenderly the part above ground, and draw up a long white part of the plant in a socket below.

1925 Amer. Botanist Oct. 167 This reminds me that among English synonyms of Eriophorum, probably without discrimination of species, is ‘draw ling’ or ‘pull ling’, which seems to mean that this plant grows in localities favorable to the growth of ling or heather—at least that is what suggests itself.
