Comments
The taxonomy of Poa saltuensis and P. languida has been controversial, with the two taxa treated variously as separate species, subspecies of P. saltuensis, or lumped under a broad concept of Poa saltuensis. Because subtle morphological differences hold up for Virginia material, we here follow the traditional species approach based on significant differences in morphology, ecology, and geographic range.
Habitat
Calcareous woodlands and barrens. Rare in the sw. mountains.

Native
