Lectotypification of names of three species of Poa (Poaceae) and their morphological affinities

Poa aitchisonii, P. falconeri and P. wardiana are lectotypified with nomenclatural notes. In absence of proper icons with analysis, worked out plant parts of two species from voucher specimens are provided as photoplates. Due to high degree of variability and in absence of concrete morphological features to distinguish species, morphological affinities of the three species with that of other close species are provided.

Automated summary

The paragraph focuses on the typification and morphological characteristics of Poa aitchisonii, P. falconeri and P. wardiana, as well as their morphological similarities with other closely related species. It also mentions the lack of proper iconography analysis, hence the provision of photoplates showing plant parts of two species from voucher specimens.
