OP I have two apparently identical specimens of native grass growing out back. One is labeled
Pony tails
Stipa tenuissima
While the other is labeled
Feather grass #1
Stipa spp
A quick Googling seems to suggest that "spp" is the abbreviation for species. Then does the latter label suggest that its writer simply didn't know the species ans so substituted "spp" out of sheer laziness
