Löve, Bot. Not. 128: 499 (1976).

Geography: Asian (N): SIB RFE.
Notes: Tzvelev (1964c) synonymized Puccinellia lenensis (as P. sibirica var. lenensis) and P. fragiliflora, the latter synonymized by Tzvelev (PAF proposal) with P. palibinii (see above). Bubnova (1990a) stated that parts of the material Sørensen annotated as P. fragiliflora belong to P. lenensis but not the type. Until the discrepancies are solved we keep two species in the Checklist. These authors also reported a possible locality for P. lenensis on Chaun Bay in West Chukotka.
