Toetoe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Toetoe are four species of tall grasses native to New Zealand and members of the Cortaderia genus. The name comes from the Maori language. It is sometimes misspelt as toitoi and this misspelling is reflected in some geographical place names.
Two South America species of Cortaderia, C. jubata and C. selloana (Pampas Grass), have been introduced to New Zealand and are sometimes mistaken for toetoe. These introduced species tend to take over from the native toetoe and are regarded as invasive weeds.
