Abstract The identity of Rottboellia uniflora
A.Cunn. collected in Northland in 1834 by R. Cunningham is
resolved as Paspalum vaginatum Sw.; confusion with Zoysia
sp. attributable to Hooker is clarified. No solution to the exact
disposition of Paspalum tenax Trin. can be proffered,
despite extensive enquiries; it remains in Incertae Sedis. Hemarthria
uncinata is to be added to the list of naturalised andropogonoid
species.
