champas1
nounchampas (uncountable)
- uncountableThe native peat of Peru.
Champas, or peat, was cut as a substitute; but instead of being piled up in stacks, it was scattered over the country to dry, so that if the royalists attempted to burn it, the destruction would be a work of time, and of difficulty.
