New species and infrageneric names in Poa L. (Poaceae): transferring species of Agrostopoa Davidse, Soreng & P.M. Peterson and Raimundochloa A.M.Molina and some notes on misidentifications
Based on DNA studies, the species of <i>Agrostopoa</i> Davidse, Soreng & P.M. Peterson and <i>Raimundochloa</i> A.M.Molina are here transferred to <i>Poa</i> L.: <i>Poa barclayae</i>, <i>P. wallisii</i>, <i>P. woodii</i>, <b>comb. nov.</b> and <i>P. ana-molinae</i> <b>nom. nov.</b> <i>Raimundochloa trachyantha</i> (Phil.) A.M.Molina is placed in P. subg. Parodiochloa (Soreng) Soreng & L.J.Gillespie, stat nov. In addition, we correct or comment on phylogenetic reports of species of <i>Bellardiochloa</i> Chiov., <i>Nicoraepoa</i> Soreng & L.J.Gillespie and <i>Cutandia</i> Willk., aligning in <i>Poa</i>.
