Abstract: 6.Poa jordanoviiKožuharov & Stoeva, Spornik, 90 Godini Akademik Daki Iordanov [Proceedings, 90 Years Academic Daki Jordanov], 154, f. 5. 1984. Type protologue. Bulgaria, M. Rodopy occidentalis, in reservatao “ V. Kolarov ” ad riv. Suisusa, Stoeva 1975 [holotype: SOM 1433 (See Soreng and Tasenkevich 2025, fig. 2)]. Description. Perennials; tufts slender bulbous at base, short, small, leafy. Culms 20– 37 cm tall, slender, with 2 nodes exposed, upper node at ca 1 / 3 the culm. Leaves mostly basal, 1 to 2 on the culms; leaf blades 1–5 cm long, to 1 mm wide, soft; flag-leaf blades 0.5–2.8 cm long; ligules 1.3–3 mm long, to 1 mm wide, acute, transparent; ligule of sterile shoots 0.95–2.2 mm long. Panicles 2.8–6.6 mm long, conical, loose, with capillary branches. Spikelets 2.9–4.8 mm long, with (3 –) 4–5 (– 6) florets; glumes unequal; upper glumes 1.9–2.6 mm long; lemmas appressed, sericate pubescent on keel and marginal veins, glabrous elsewhere; paleas glabrous between the scabrous keels. 2 n = 14. Distribution and ecology. Bulgaria. Ca. 1,600 m elevation. Post-forest grasslands, rocky southern exposure, gneiss with marble veins. in coniferous forest belt. Comments. This diploid taxon (counted from a topotype population) is known to us only from its description and a digital image of the Type and requires further study. It is said to differ from Poa bulbosa in having smaller, delicate, open panicles with spikelet florets lacking callus hairs (Soreng and Tasenkevich 2025). It differs from P. perconcinna in having open panicles. Representative specimens. Bulgaria. (Type).
