Puccinellia nuttalliana (Schult.) Hitchc.[FNA24, HC, HC2]
Nuttall's alkali grass

Publication: A Flora of California 1: 162. 1912.

Origin: Native

selected vouchers: WTU

Notes: FNA24: "Puccinellia nuttalliana is a widespread and variable species, restricted to the Flora region. It grows principally in the interior, but is also found in coastal settings, where it is difficult to distinguish from P. nutkaensis. Northern, primarily boreal or southern arctic populations with relatively short lemmas and anthers (2–2.8 mm and 0.6–0.9 mm, respectively), and with a few long hairs on the lower palea veins, have sometimes been recognized as P. borealis Swallen."
