|discussion=<p><i>Poa pratensis </i>subsp.<i> pratensis</i> grows throughout most cf the range of the species, but is absent from the high arctic, and only sporadic in the low arctic. It usually has a few narrow, flat or involute, intravaginal shoot leaves, in addition to some broader, extravaginal shoot leaves, and is intermediate between subspp. angustifolia and irrigata. For a comparison, see the descriptions of those subspecies.</p>
