Poa tenera

Slender, light green, glabrous perennial, typically developing branched trailing or aerial stolons (sometimes with stems 2 m long or more), occasionally a simple tussock; culms weak and slender. Leaves smooth or very slightly scabrous (rarely with scattered to moderately dense fine hairs, see note below); sheath occasionally red or purplish; blade folded or inrolled-angular, to 20 cm long and 1.5 mm wide (when flattened out), thin-textured, with the nerves becoming prominently raised as the leaves dry; ligule truncate, membranous, 0.3–1.5 mm long. Inflorescence a sparse, pyramidal panicle, commonly c. 8 cm long, 6 cm wide, the branches finally widely spreading. Spikelets 2–4-flowered, 3–5 mm long; glumes subequal, 1.5–2.5 mm long, the lower 1–3-nerved and often slightly shorter, the upper 3-nerved; lemma with 5 distinctly raised nerves, 2–3.5 mm long, uniformly short-pubescent in the lower half to quite glabrous; web weakly developed or absent. Flowers Oct.–Jan.
