1914notes: Remark: Pacific Bluestem is an old wheat of the Pacific coast area, most commonly known as Bluestem and White Australian. The variety came to the U.S. from Australia. White Lammas was the leading wheat variety of Australia during the earliest years of wheat production in that country. White Australian of California is likely identical to White Lammas of Australia. It apparently was introduced into the U.S. in the early 1850's. Bluestem is the name under which the variety became established in Washington and Oregon after introductions from Australia in 1882 and New Zealand in 1896. It is not known how the name Bluestem became attached since it does not have a purple stem.
