• Type: Whiteochloa semitonsa (Benth.) C.E.Hubb.

• Etymology: "The name Whiteochloa is given in memory of Cyril Tenison White, one of Australia's most illustrious botanists. He is remembered by the writer with gratitude and affection as a very good friend, who by his generous help, kindly advice and encouragement, and perfect companion-ship on numerous botanical excursions, made most memorable a year spent at the Brisbane Herbarium and elsewhere in Queensland in 1930-31."
