Notes:
A tall-growing dark-green grass with long and wide but thin and pappery leaves. On the upper surface of the leaves the hairs are disposed in lines, as can be seen if the leaves are held with an end in each hand and then looked at lengthways with one eye closed and the other at a level with the blade.
Specimen notes
Supplementary remarks:
This specimen is part of a collection given to the Allan Herbarium by Laurence Smith (Amberly office, Environment Canterbury). This was given to L. Smith in the early 1990's by someone in Port Robinson, Cheviot.
The collection is believed to have been collected in 1948, based on several specimens with fully written dates in the collection. We believe that JRK was a student of Canterbury Agriculture College (C.A.C), which is now known as Lincoln University.
