Poa infirma
Also called Early Meadow Grass, European Weak Bluegrass, Diploid Annual Bluegrass
Poa infirma, also known as early meadow-grass and weak bluegrass, is a species of grass in the genus Poa. It was first described in 1812 by German botanist Carl Sigismund Kunth from a specimen found in Colombia between Fontibón and Santa Fe, in Bogota. Despite this, it is actually introduced in the Americas and is native to Mediterranean Europe, North Africa and West Asia.
P. infirma is typically a coastal species, found in open, trampled grassland, on cliff-tops, tracksides, picnic sites, lawns, and car parks, as well as in stabilised dunes.
