nipa

Nipa palms line the banks in places, and occasionally occupy the swamp for some distance on either side of the stream.

Nipa huts and bamboo cottages were numerous, but the inmates kept themselves well hidden as the little army passed by.

Usually he was in his nipa hut in the coconuts, silent and alone.

To the front beyond the nipa houses and their palm-fringed gardens, lay unseen the parallel, intrenched lines of the Insurgents.
