X Pucciphippsia czukczorum Tzvelev
Publ. & Syn.Phippsia algida x Puccinellia ?wrightii.
NotesElven and Solstad: Tzvelev (1976) suggested Puccinellia wrightii to be the propable Puccinellia parent, whereas Tzvelev (PAF proposal) suggested that P. tenella might be the parent. X Pucciphippsia czukczorum, in fact, has well developed anthers (field observation by us in 2005) and abundant production of well-formed fruits (specimens in LE and O). If the nearly triploid count is right, this fertility is strange, but some stabilization must have taken place. In morphological appearance, X Pucciphippsia czukczorum resembles X P. vacillans and differs from both Phippsia spp. and Puccinellia spp.
