Bentley: 1836. Either of two species of bulrushes of the genus Scripus, used to thatch primitive huts. Santamaría glosses it as a reed or bulrush whose leaves are used to weave mats and even curtains and other items. In Mexico the term frequently refers to a species of Cyperus, native to the lakes of the Central Plateau. It may also refer to Seirpus californicus, S. lacustris, Typha angustifolia, and T. latifolia. In the plural, "the tules" refers to an out-of-the-way or desolate place, or "the middle of nowhere." Hence the expressions "to be in deep tules," meaning to be in trouble with the law and "to pull freight for the tules," "to be on the lam." The term is also used in forming numerous compounds. Some examples include: tule elk, tule gnat, tule wren; tule lake, tule land, tule marsh or swamp.Alternate forms: toolie, tula, tulé, tuley.
