Please try our next iteration of the Michigan Flora Online here. Beginning on February 1, 2023, michiganflora.net will point to this new site.
The new site offers several benefits over the existing website, including real coordinate mapping, giving a clearer view of the density of documentation as well as more precision about plant distributions and their link to landforms. We will also have the ability to update species pages more regularly, both in terms of new collections and as more existing Michigan specimens are georeferenced. In addition, we have a better photo display, and offer indented keys.

Dry, often shallow sandy or rocky soil, such as forest borders and clearings, along forested trails, old homesites; rock ledges and bluffs in the Upper Peninsula.
Poa nemoralis was first collected in Ingham Co. in 1895 and is presumably an introduction from Europe as most of our collections are from disturbed, open forests. However, some of our plants, placed as P. nemoralis by their very short ligule and leafy stems, do occur on the rocks of the Lake Superior region and rock ledges and bluffs in other wild areas of the Upper Peninsula. In P. nemoralis, the tip of the longest glume equals the tip of the lemma opposite, while in P. interior, the glume is often slightly shorter.
