| Publ. & Syn. | Nikif., Bot. Zhurn. 72: 1666 (1987). Holotype (LE): Siberia: Putorana, "lacus Chaja-Kjuel ...", 09. Aug. 1972, leg. S. Andrulaitis and Z. Malyscheva. |
| Notes | Nikiforova (1990a) accepted a second species from northern Siberia in the relationship of Deschampsia anadyrensis: D. vodopjanoviae. Tzvelev (PAF proposal) suggested it for inclusion but later omitted it without relegation to synonymy. Deschampsia vodopjanoviae is a local species in Taimyr-Putorana, reported to slightly penetrate the Arctic. Nikiforova (1987) originally interpreted it to have developed from the hybrid D. glauca (sensu auct. ross.) x D. sukatchewii. The species is entered provisionally. |
| Chromosomes | (1) 26 (2x). - Far East (N). - Zhukova and Tikhonova (1973); Yurtsev and Zhukova (1978). (2) 48 52 (4x). - Far East (N), Alaska, Canada. - Several reports. Possibly relevant numbers and reports if the Russian and North American plants previously treated as D. glauca are included under this name. |
