Include taxa here that are endemic or have restricted distributions (e.g. only a few countries).
During the 1990s, botanists began experimenting with producing hybrids of Texas bluegrass and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis) for use as wintering foraging plant for grazing livestock [citation needed] and as a drought-resistant lawn grass.
