How to stop a coroutine with multiple parameters?

Question

I know about StopAllCoroutines() that stops all coroutines and yield break that stops it from within the coroutine; But Is there a way how to stop one Coroutine with multiple parameters from outside?

Thanks

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class testCo : MonoBehaviour {
 
     
     IEnumerator play(int one, int two, int three)
     {
 
         print(one);
         print(two);
         print(three);
         yield return null;
     }
     void Update () {
 
         int t = (int)Time.time;
         if (t < 10)
         {
             StartCoroutine(play(1, 2, 3));
         }
         else {
             StopCoroutine("play");
             print("stopped");
         
         }
 
     }
 }

I do not know about the guy who was told me I was wrong. To stop a coroutine just

 StopCoroutine("functionName").

To call it from outside this script put the line in a public function and call it.

Do you have any idea, why this doesn't work?

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 public class test : MonoBehaviour
 {
         IEnumerator play (int one, int two, int three)
         {
                 while (true) {
                         print (one);
                         print (two);
                         print (three);
                         yield return null;
                 }
         }
 
         public void OnMouseUp ()
         {
                 print ("stopped");
                 StopCoroutine ("play");
                 return;
         }
     
         public void OnMouseDown ()
         {
                 print ("started");
                 StartCoroutine (play (1, 2, 3));
                 return;
         }
 }

(it's attached to a gameObject ofc)
