Poa Flabellata
''Poa flabellata'', commonly known as tussac grass or just tussac, is a tussock grass native to southern South America, the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and other islands in the South Atlantic. There are also two isolated records from the herbarium at the French Muséum national d'histoire naturelle for the Île Amsterdam in the Indian Ocean. It was introduced to Shetland, Scotland for basket making in 1844, and possibly as a source of fodder because of its ability to grow in hostile conditions.. It grows in dense clumps, usually about high (although they can be much taller), on wet coastal land and is a dominant feature of much of the landscape. Associated organisms The plant community dominated by ''P. flabellata'' is widely used by birds and mammals. Breeding colonies of southern fur seal, elephant seal, Magellanic penguin, macaroni penguin, and albatrosses are all found amongst tussac grass on South Georgia and elsewhere. The austral thrush is predominantly found ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Poa Nemoralis
''Poa nemoralis'', the wood bluegrass, is a perennial plant in the family Poaceae. The late-growing grass is fairly nutritious for livestock, which feed on it in the autumn, and it is used as a lawn grass for shady situations. Description It forms loose tufts, and is of a more delicate, slender appearance than other meadow grasses. It is slightly creeping. The leaves are narrow, tapering to a point. The ligules are short (0.5 mm). The stem is slender, high. The panicle is slender, loose and branched. The spikelets are few and egg shaped. They have one to five flowers. This grass is in flower from June to August in the Northern Hemisphere. It can produce asexual seeds by means of apomixis and can also reproduce vegetatively. Because of the characteristic leaf#Divisions of the lamina (blade), lamina, similar to a stretched out arm, it is sometimes called "Wegweisergras" (signpost grass) in Germany. Distribution and habitat Wood bluegrass is native to Europe, where its ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Poa Gunnii
''Poa gunnii'' is a Aboriginal Tasmanians, Tasmanian endemic tussock grass considered one of the most abundant and common in alpine and subalpine environments from about 800 m to above 1400 m. However it can be found to near sea level in the south of the island state where a cooler climate is prevalent. The genus ''Poa'' belongs to the family Poaceae. Tasmania has 16 native and 6 introduced species of ''Poa''. Description ''Poa gunnii'' is a very variable species. The most common subalpine and alpine form is stunted but grows up to 20 cm high while forms of ''P. gunnii'' at lower altitudes towards sea level are usually taller to 70 cm high and with longer leaves. Leaf sheaths, green or purplish; leaves less than 1mm in diameter, hard, usually round in cross-section. Blades up to 30 cm long, inrolled or folded. Ligules up to 2mm long, firm with tiny hairs on their margins and backs. Flowering spikelets are broadly ovate to lanceolate, 2–6 flowered, green ...

Poa Porphyroclados
''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. Cultivation and uses Many of the species are important pasture plants, used extensively by grazing livestock. Kentuc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
