What is papirus?

why do you need papirus??

papirus is one kind of paper, its make from grass, but no one use it now because its very old method to make paper
 
papyrus is kinda paper that was made in Egypt for 3000 before century. is used to wrote a heliogyph (I don't know how to spell it, sorry..)
I 2007 we can still find papyrus, but in museum only, I think..
we can't eat papyrus, of course!
 
and also papyrus can be name of water plant which grows in the muddy watter (same habitat as lotus or lily water)
 
the plant loosely like rice plant (If you ever see rice plant:)) You may go to the plant nursery and ask if they know papyrus (well is common plant they sell back in Bali)
and I believe the name of papyrus paper coming from this water plant. Check in the dictionary or wikipedia for more details.
and also known for medicine during Muhammad SAW time
 
is it in Oryzae family? I mean, like "padi" it has a biology name called Oryza sativa..
by the way, you are on line, aren't you? =D
