The name Rhodes Grass has been applied to at least two members of the Chloris family causing confusion among botanists and those who have tested these grasses in Cape Colony and New South Wales. A New Zealand writer notes the issue, as does J. H. Maiden, Government Botanist for New South Wales.
The article discusses Mr. Coil Ribewies interest in introducing certain garden seeds and grain varieties. It notes seeds of the Street Gress of the TremeTaal were collected and sown in large plots on neatly cared grounds. It mentions a map Gritte and a greaser name associated with the Chioris.
A discussion recalls that warmer Rhodes grass spread from Eyre to New South Wales six years ago via Mr Sylvester Brown of Minimbah near Singleton. The hardy perennial grows quickly on poor land, offers high feeding value, and is praised by farmers who trial it, though its overall suitability still requires proof.
The note discusses challenges in applying correct seed quantity per acre and the impact on yields. It mentions farm practices and the need to adjust measures to match soil and crop conditions. No specific dates or named entities are provided.
