High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The name Toetoe comes from the M ori language. It covers four similar species of tall grasses native to New Zealand which are members of the Cortaderia genus. These species are C. toetoe, C. fulvida, C. splendens and C. richardii. Two closely-related South America species of Cortaderia, C. jubata and C. selloana (Pampas Grass), have been introduced to New Zealand and are often mistaken for toetoe. These introduced species tend to take over from the native toetoe and are regarded as invasive weeds.The M ori used the toetoe leaves to make baskets, kites, mats, wall linings and roof thatching. It was also used to make containers to cook food in hot springs. The flower stalks were also useful - as frames for kites, and in tukutuku panelling. The seed heads themselves were used on fresh wounds to stop bleeding. Other medicinal uses included treatment of diarrhoea, kidney complaints, and burns. Toetoe is New Zealand's largest native grass, growing in clumps up to 3m in height.
