| Tasmania
has 16 native and 6 introduced species of Poa. These
quite varied in habit, although most of the native species
form small or large tussocks and have very narrow, tightly
inrolled leaves. They include some very abundant species
(e.g. Poa gunnii is one of the most common alpine
and subalpine grass). The inflorescence is a loose panicle
of very small, awnless spikelets.
Poa pratensis is kentucky bluegrass. P. annua
is winter grass.
