The genus Puccinellia is here treated according to the revision by 
Fernald & Weatherby (Ruopora, xviii. 1-22), much of the material 
referred in the Catalogue to P. distans being here included under 
P. fasciculata (P. Borreri of the Catalogue). 
Our species as recognized here may be distinguished by the following 
key (adapted from Fernald & Weatherby) :— 
A. Lower branches of the comparatively short panicle (0.2-1.6 dm. long) 
densely flowered nearly to the base or at least below the middle; lem- 
mas thick and coriaceous, without a broad hyaline tip; the midnerve 
reaching the apex of the lemma, often excurrent as a very short mucro 
P. fasciculata 
A. Lower branches of the panicle floriferous chiefly above the middle; lem- 
mas thin and membranaceous in texture, or at least with a broad hya- 
line tip; the midnerve not excurrent. B. 
B. Lemmas erose-ciliolate or serrulate under a lens........ P. distans 
B. Lemmas essentially entire............ P. paupercula, var. alaskana
