| Poa nemoralis L. |
Poa nemoralis (Wood bluegrass) is an ornamental plant in the Poaceae family.
It is only found in forests and grows up to half a meter tall[1]. Because of the characteristic lamina, similar to a stretched out arm, it is sometimes called "Wegweisergras" (signpost grass) in Germany[1], and colloquially "Heil-Hitler-Kraut".
