Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A new species of the New Zealand endemic grass , is described. The new species is segregated from and compared with and . occurs mostly in lightly shaded areas of seasonally dry alluvial forest. A distribution map and an assessment of the conservation status of the new species are presented. Genetic variation in the genus was examined, building on previously published work but including additional sampling. Analysis of nrDNA ITS and ETS and plastid L intron and L-F intergenic spacer sequences show to be more closely related to than to . NeighborNet analyses of AFLP profiles for the three species of show each to consist of distinct clusters of genotypes well separated from each other.
