Toetoes
Austroderia
Austroderia is a genus of five species of tall grasses native to New Zealand, commonly known as toetoe (from Māori). The species are A. toetoe, A. fulvida, A. splendens, A. richardii and A. turbaria. They were recently reclassified in 2011 from the genus Cortaderia.
Two closely related South American species are Cortaderia jubata and C. selloana (pampas grass), which have been introduced to New Zealand and are often mistaken for toetoe. These introduced species tend to take over from the native toetoe and are regarded as invasive weeds.
