According to the United States Dept. of Agriculture, ''Poa pratensis'' or Kentucky bluegrass is both native to the US and also introduced [[http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=POPR]] . Various subspecies are purely native: ''P.p. subsp. alpigena'', ''P.p. subsp. colpodea'' and ''P.p. subsp. pratensis''. ''P.p. subsp. irrigata'' is an introduced subspecies. From this, it appears that either there are subspecies that developed in the US after the introduction of the Old World plant or the plant existed in North America as well as the Old World. Since ''Poa pratensis'' is identified as both native and introduced, the latter conclusion does seem to be suggested. In this case, the first paragraph of this article should be amended to indicate that ''P. pratensis'' is also native to North America. In any case, ''Poa pratensis'' should be at least co-extensively identified as ''Kentucky bluegrass.'' Does anyone have information about this? [[User:NaySay|NaySay]] 18:27, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
:I changed the article accordingly. I see the older version listed Poa Pratensis as native to North America, and has been changed multiple times. The topic is highly political to some at the moment, and the most accurate language would reflect that there is debate and disagreement over its native status in North America. Ladybird Johnson foundation, a reputable scientific source used in other wiki articles, states there are native subspecies. https://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=POPR
:Fernald 1950, Great Plains Flora Assoc 1986, Gleason and Cronquist 1953 All list it as a North American native. I can find no recent scientific studies claiming otherwise. [[User:Luckymortal1977|Luckymortal1977]] ([[User talk:Luckymortal1977|talk]]) 19:50, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

[[:Smooth Meadow-grass]] → [[Poa pratensis]] — Change to scientific name due to disagreement on which common name is better.--[[User:Ridge Runner|Ridge Runner]] ([[User talk:Ridge Runner|talk]]) 08:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)▼

**I think that's a good idea and have changed the suggestion accordingly.--[[User:Ridge Runner|Ridge Runner]] ([[User talk:Ridge Runner|talk]]) 10:08, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
*'''Support''' new suggestion: change to ''[[Poa pratensis]]''. [[User:Richard New Forest|Richard New Forest]] ([[User talk:Richard New Forest|talk]]) 20:26, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
*'''Support''' change to ''[[Poa pratensis]]''. At least in the context of turfgrass in the United States, I suspect that "Kentucky bluegrass" is overwhelmingly the common name, but I have no reason to doubt the suggestion that other names are used in other contexts/places. Faced with this kind of discrepency, the scientific name seems like the only good solution. [[User:Kingdon|Kingdon]] ([[User talk:Kingdon|talk]]) 21:34, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
*'''Support''' move to ''[[Poa pratensis]]'' as surely the name used most widely in reliable sources, and also recognized in all parts of the world. [[User:First Light|First Light]] ([[User talk:First Light|talk]]) 05:34, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Should there should be a section here about how bluegrass relates to house lawns, as it is one of the most common cultivars. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/158.48.6.139|158.48.6.139]] ([[User talk:158.48.6.139|talk]]) 14:39, 6 May 2011 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Orphaned references in [[:Poa pratensis]] ==
I check pages listed in [[:Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting]] to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for [[User:AnomieBOT/docs/OrphanReferenceFixer|orphaned references]] in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of [[:Poa pratensis]]'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for ''this'' article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. [[User:AnomieBOT|AnomieBOT]][[User talk:AnomieBOT|<span style="color:#880">⚡</span>]] 09:08, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
▲*'''Oppose'''. It's only called bluegrass in America; it's called meadow-grass everywhere else (and perhaps in America too). Actually those crude numbers of around 5:3 show that the bluegrass is not overwhelmingly dominant. We could avoid this language problem by calling it ''[[Poa pratensis]]'' – as recommended in [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (flora)]]. Why don't we change it to that?
