TAILIEUCHUNG - Two new records and one confirmation of the genus Poa L. (Poaceae) for the Flora of Turkey
The ongoing revision of the genus Poa in Turkey has resulted in two new Poa records for the Flora of Turkey as Poa pratensis subsp. irrigata (Lindm.) H. Lindb. and Poa eigii Feinbrun. In addition, the presence of Poa palustris L. is confirmed. A brief discussion and an illustration for each taxon are provided. | Turkish Journal of Botany Turk J Bot (2016) 40: 439-445 © TÜBİTAK doi: Research Note Two new records and one confirmation of the genus Poa L.

Key words: Poa, Poaceae, new records, confirmation, revision, Turkey 1. Introduction Poa L. (Salkımotu, Cabi and Doğan, 2012) is the type genus of the grass family Poaceae Barnhart. It comprises over 550 species distributed in temperate regions of the world. Extensive polyploidy, hybridization, apomixis, and only a few useful morphological characters make the genus taxonomically difficult (Gillespie and Soreng, 2005). In the Flora of Turkey, Edmondson (1985) reported 24 species. He noted one imperfectly known species as P. hackelii Post, and two doubtful species as P. iberica Fisch & C. A. Mey and P. palustris L. In his treatment, he placed P. eigii Feinbrun under P. bulbosa L. . In subsequent years, three more Poa species, P. akmanii Soreng, & , P. asiae-minoris & Byfield, and P. bussmannii H. Scholz, were described from Turkey. In the checklist of the Poaceae of Turkey, Cabi and Doğan (2012) reported 30 taxa, including P. densa Troitsky, and the three questionably present taxa P. palustris, P. iberica, and P. hackelii. The objective of the current study is to .
