|discussion=<p><i>Poa pratensis </i>subsp.<i> colpodea</i> is circumpolar. In the Flora region, its range extends from Alaska and British Columbia to Greenland. It is more common than <i>P. pratensis </i>subsp.<i> alpigena</i> in the high arctic. The two sometimes grow together, and there is some evidence of a shift in dominance from year to year.</p>
