Poa Induta
''Poa'' is a genus of about 570 species of grasses, native to the temperate regions of both hemispheres. Common names include meadow-grass (mainly in Europe and Asia), bluegrass (mainly in North America), tussock (some New Zealand species), and speargrass. ''Poa'' () is Greek for 'fodder'. ''Poa'' are members of the subfamily Pooideae of the family Poaceae. Bluegrass, which has green leaves, derives its name from the seed heads, which are blue when the plant is allowed to grow to its natural height of two to three feet (0.6 to 0.9 meters). The genus ''Poa'' includes both annual and perennial species. Most are monoecious, but a few are dioecious (separate male and female plants). The leaves are narrow, folded or flat, sometimes bristled, and with the basal sheath flattened or sometimes thickened, with a blunt or hooded apex and membranaceous ligule. Selected species Cultivation and uses Many of the species are important pasture plants, used extensively by grazing livestock ...

Poa Annua
''Poa annua'', or annual meadow grass (known in America more commonly as annual bluegrass or simply poa), is a widespread low-growing turfgrass in temperate climates. Notwithstanding the reference to annual plant in its name, perennial bio-types do exist. This grass originated as a hybrid between '' Poa supina'' and '' Poa infirma''. Major chromosomal rearrangements after polyploidy have contributed to variation in genome size in ''Poa annua''. Description It has a slightly creeping, fibrous, rootstock. The stem grows from 15–25 cm (6-10 in.) high. It is slightly flattened, due to being folded rather than rolled. The panicle is open and triangular shaped, 5 to 7.5 cm (2 to 3 in.) long. The spikelets are stalked, awnless, 1 to 2 cm (3/8 to 3/4 in.) long when flowering, and loosely arranged on delicate paired or spreading branches. Sometimes they are tinged purple. The vivid green leaves are short and blunt at the tips, shaped like the prow of a small canoe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Poa Atropurpurea
''Poa atropurpurea'' is a rare species of grass known by the common name San Bernardino bluegrass. It is endemic to southern California, where it is known from two regions, the San Bernardino Mountains near Big Bear and the Laguna Mountains of San Diego County.

Poa Arachnifera
''Poa arachnifera'', the Texas bluegrass, is a species of grass. It is a dioecious perennial plant, native to the southern Great Plains of the United States. Hybridization with Kentucky bluegrass During the 1990s, botanists began experimenting with producing hybrids of Texas bluegrass and Kentucky bluegrass (''Poa pratensis'') for use as wintering foraging plant for grazing livestock and as a drought-resistant lawn A lawn () is an area of soil-covered land planted with Poaceae, grasses and other durable plants such as clover lawn, clover which are maintained at a short height with a lawn mower (or sometimes grazing animals) and used for aesthetic an ... grass. The hybrids appear similar to Kentucky bluegrass, but maintain their green color in higher temperatures. Seed manufacturers began marketing the first of these hybrids, often termed "heat-tolerant bluegrasses", in the first decade of the 21st century.
