Poa nemoralis is a polymorphic species with two recognised patterns of variation and numerous transitional forms in the territory encompassed by Flora iberica . The first recognised variety, Poa nemoralis var. Poa nemoralis [ Poa cinerea Vill., Hist. Pl. Dauphine 2: 126. 1787, type: "Il vient au meme endroit que le precedent - Poa angustifolia -."; P. debilis Thuill., Fl. Env. Paris ed. 2: 43. 1799, type: "Habitat in pratis"; P. miliacea DC. in Lam. & DC., Fl. France ed. 3, 3: 64. 1805, type: " .. par M. Ramond, qui l'a trouvee dans les Pyrenees ; ..."; P. nemoralis var. montana Gaudin, Alpina 3: 27. 1808, type: "In den Waeldern des Jura Ṩ .

Helv. 1: 181. 1811, type: "In plantici dumetis non rara"; P. nemoralis subsp. coarctata Gaudin, Agrost. Helv. 1: 185. 1811, type: "In aridis apicisque, ad muros etiam alpinis hawd infrequens"; P. nemoralis var. miliacea (DC.) Godr. in Gren. & Godr., Fl. France 3: 541. 1856; P. nemoralis var. eunemoralis Hack. in Briq., Prodr. Fl. Corse 1: 141. 1910, nom. inval.], is widely distributed in the area covered by Flora iberica [ And. Por. : BA DL TM.

This taxon includes plants that are usually green or sometimes glaucous, generally with smooth and flexible stems and with most leaves flat and flexible, linear or linear-lanceolate and erect or erect-patent. The other variety, Poa nemoralis var. rigidula Mert. & W.D.J. Koch, Deutschl. Fl. 1: 617. 1823 [type: "Auf Wiesen, im Gebuesche der Triften, am Saume der Waelder" ], is dispersed throughout the region [ And. Port. : TM.
