  Agrostis 
  sp. 
  

  

  The 
  seeds 
  of 
  this 
  grass 
  were 
  received 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  Agrostis 
  tenella, 
  which 
  

   was 
  given 
  to 
  the 
  species 
  in 
  1889 
  by 
  Petrie 
  (Transactions 
  of 
  the 
  New 
  Zealand 
  

   Institute, 
  vol. 
  22, 
  p. 
  442). 
  However, 
  in 
  1800, 
  Hoffmann 
  (Deutschlands 
  Flora, 
  ed. 
  

   2, 
  vol. 
  1, 
  p. 
  36) 
  had 
  published 
  the 
  name 
  Agrostis 
  tenella 
  for 
  a 
  German 
  form 
  of 
  

   Agrostis 
  alba, 
  thus 
  invalidating 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  name 
  for 
  the 
  N*ew 
  Zealand 
  

   grass. 
  As 
  this 
  species 
  has 
  apparently 
  never 
  been 
  given 
  any 
  other 
  name, 
  it 
  

   eeems 
  best

   The 
  seeds 
  of 
  this 
  New 
  Zealand 
  pasture 
  grass 
  were 
  received 
  under 
  the 
  name 
  

   Deyeuxia 
  youngii. 
  As 
  Deyeuxia 
  is 
  not 
  considered 
  to 
  be 
  distinct 
  from 
  Calama- 
  

   grostis 
  and 
  as 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  more 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  Calamagrostis 
  

   than 
  to 
  the 
  type 
  of 
  Agrostis, 
  it 
  is 
  here 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  former 
  genus.
