The genus is named in honor of Agnes Chase (1869-1963), outstanding American agrostologist and author of a monumentally complete and useful index of published grass names (Chase & Niles, 1962). Even today, Chase's handwritten notes on specimens and folders in the U.S. National Herbarium often provide welcome hints and time-saving insights into the identities and relationships of many grasses.
