Turkey (central and eastern Taurus Mts. and adjacent ranges).

Notes.

Morphologically Poa millii is intermediate between P. persica subsp. persica and P. attalica . However, we are not sure which of these it is actually related to or if it is a hybrid between them. The type approaches P. persica in having anthers 1.2-1.3 mm long and P. attalica in having abundant branching and sometimes having some sterile branches amongst the lower branch whorls. Much of the material of P. millii from further west than the type location from the Taurus Mts. has smaller anthers and is problematical to separate from P. attalica .
