<italic>Cortaderia selloana</italic>(pampas grass) and<italic>C. jubata</italic>(purple pampas grass) are both invasive in New Zealand.<italic>Cortaderia selloana</italic>is found throughout most of the country, whereas<italic>C. jubata</italic>is restricted to the North Island and the northern South Island. We examine the genetic variation present in each of the species, and compare this to the findings of an earlier study that analysed the variation in invasive<italic>C. jubata</italic>plants from New Zealand.<italic>Cortaderia selloana</italic>is comprised of two main genetic groupings in New Zealand, one of which is more common than the other. The distribution of these two genetic groupings is discussed with respect to introduction history.<italic>Cortaderia jubata</italic>has considerably more genetic variation than expected, higher than estimated by a previous work. We discuss these results in the context of<italic>Cortaderia</italic>invasion in New Zealand and how this may impact on the design of a biocontrol programme.</p>
