Genebank holdings of seed of the temperate native grasses of New Zealand and Australia are very small. For example, seed of only 10 of the 160 grass species native to New Zealand is held in the Margot Forde Forage Germplasm Centre. The Australian situation is only slightly better. Introductions of temperate grasses other than Lolium perenne, Dactylis glomerata, Festuca arundinacea, and Phalaris aquatica into Australia and New Zealand have included over 400 species but, on average, fewer than 10 samples per species. Very few introduced grass species have therefore been adequately sampled for the full range of genetic diversity within the species. This paper lists the accessions of grasses into genebanks in Australia and New Zealand and discusses the strengths and limitations of the collections.

Abstract'Grasslands Hakari' mountain brome (Bromus marginatus Nees.) was bred to provide the South Island high country with a nutritional and productive grass with a role similar to that played by 'Grasslands Matua' prairie grass (B. willdenowii Kunth) for lowland country. It is very similar to Matua in appearance, but is less productive in winter and more productive and leafy in summer. It performs best under the same conditions of high soil fertility and lax grazing pressure. Hakari mountain brome was bred from a United States accession introduced in 1961. The project involved screening and selection from this accession at 5 sites through New Zealand, but the value of Hakari would appear limited to the regions that are too cold for Matua prairie grass.
