Type (C): Greenland: Niaqornat, the Nugssuaq Peninsula, the Umanak District, July 1836, leg. J. Vahl. Indicated by Sørensen (1953: 18) as 'type' of Liebmann's Flora Danica illustration. - Colpodium vahlianum (Liebm.) Nevski, Fl. URSS 2: 436 (1934). - Phippsia vahliana (Liebm.) Á. Löve & D. Löve, Bot. Not. 128: 501 (1976). |
| Notes | The main range of Puccinellia vahliana is in the non-Beringian regions. It is confirmed from northern Alaska eastwards across Canada, Greenland, Svalbard, and Franz Joseph Land, to Novaya Zemlya. Records from other areas and from non-arctic localities (e.g., the southern Yukon Territory: Cody 1996; Davis and Consaul 2007) should be re-checked. It is also reported from a few, very scattered localities in northern Siberia. In view of the polymorphy within its known range, these and records of related local Russian species should be critically compared with a larger material of P. vahliana. |
