| Latin Name: | Poa annua | |
| Common Names: |
Ligule: Medium: 2-5mm. Roundly pointed and serrated.
Auricles: Absent
Leaf blade: Light green with boat-shaped tip. Blade often crinkled or puckered, hairless. It is slightly keeled, with 'tramlines' and is folded in shoot.
Description: Familiar small, pale green, loosely tufted annual or short lived perennial, very variable in size: 5 - 30cm. Flowering head is branched and spreading, triangular in outline. Spikelets are small and awnless.
Importance: Very common in all arable areas especially on acid soils. It has become a severe problem in some localities due to its ability to germinate and set seed throughout the year. It is not particularly competitive however but in wetter areas may cause harvesting difficulties.
