A morphological and genetic analysis of five mesomorphic bluegrasses populations, Poa section Stenopoa, from a range of geographical locations were performed. We have established that all the populations have different level of the morphological and genetic diversity. A total of 79 DNA bands were obtained from six ISSR primers, including 61 polymorphic bands. Molecular data have shown no clear difference between morphologically homogeneous populations and hybrid populations P. palustris and P. nemoralis. This result may be due to the high genetic diversity of the populations studied.
