Poa infirma, also known as early meadow-grass and weak bluegrass, is a species of grass in the genus Poa. It was first described in 1812 by German botanist Carl Sigismund Kunth from a specimen found in Colombia between Fontibón and Santa Fe, in Bogota. Despite this, it is actually introduced in the Americas and is native to Mediterranean Europe, North Africa and West Asia.
