An unrecorded species, Poa tuberifera Faurie ex Hack., was found in Saryeoni forest, Jocheon-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do. It can be distinguished from P. acroleuca Steud. and P. acroleuca var. submoniliformis Makino by its morphological characteristics, with panicle branches bearing sparse spikelets and lemmas not wavy-haired at the base. P. tuberifera is known to be an endemic plant of Japan, but its distribution in South Korea is confirmed through the present study.
