 | | Cortaderia selloana was introduced by a Scottish horticulturist, James Tweedie. |
 | | He became the head gardener at Edinburgh Botanical Garden, and, in 1825 at the age of fifty, emigrated to Argentina. |
 | | The botanical name Cortaderia comes from an Argentine word for these plants, and selloana commemorates another botanist that collected in South America, Friedrich Sellow. |
