A small perennial tufted species of Poa likely of subgenus Alpinae but possibly not bulbous based. Distribution and ecology. Slovenia. Boznia and Hezegovina. Mountains. Conservation status. A poorly known taxon. Comments. See Soreng and Tasenkevich (2025) for discussion of typification and taxonomic application of the name. Euro + Med PlantBase accepts P. carniolica as a species endemic to Slovenia. Portal (2005) included P. carniolica Rchb. (nom. nud.) under P. bulbosa var. bulbosa, but P. concinna var. carniolica Mutel [as applied by Mutel in France] under P. perconcinna. Edmondson (1978) noted P. carniolica (sensu Rchb.) should not be considered part of P. perconcinna. We remain skeptical of the application of this name. It could be the same as P. bulbosa, or as P. pumila Host, another poorly understood taxon that is placed in ser. Alpinae. However, RJS has only examined the original illustration and an image of the Agardh epitype, and closer study is needed. Thus, we do not have a firm description for this taxon that applies to the Type material. Representative specimens. Slovenia. Type. Boznia and Hezegovina. (Herzegovinae, Mostar, Baenitz s. n.
