Abstract: 5.Poa supinaSchrad., Fl. Germ. 1: 289. 1806. Occurrence in Turkey Distribution and ecology. Widespread in Eurasia, upland forest openings to low alpine, common along trails; in Turkey, 3,000 m, rare. Comments. Although reported by Edmondson (1985) from 10 provinces in Turkey and variously identified as such in herbaria, no authentic material of P. supina (Mm - clade) had been verified from Turkey by RJS and EC until a specimen was identified from the vicinity of orchards, likely introduced as a cover crop (‘ cv. Supernova’?): Prov. Van, Doğanaci köyü, Osman Karabacak 6522 (VANF [image!]), identified from a photo sent by EC to RJS. All prior reported specimens for Turkey seen by RJS and EC have been other species, mostly stooling specimens of Poa annua. One report from Bursa (Charpin 20015 G) is Catabrosella variegata (Boiss.) Tzvelev. Poa supina stools but has longer anthers (1.25 –) 1.5–2.5 mm), generally sparser panicles and sparser lemma pubescence than P. annua.
