Title: {iPuccinellia} Parl. (Gramineae: Poeae) in New Zealand
Abstract: Abstract Puccinellia Parl., saltgrass, of temperate regions throughout the world, is revised for New Zealand. Four indigenous species are recognised: P. stricta shared with Australia; and three endemic species: P. raroflorens, described as new from salt pans in Central Otago and one locality on Stewart I., P. macquariensis, and P. walkeri, this last name being taken up for the species latterly known in New Zealand as P. novae-zealandiae. Subantarctic Puccinellia antipoda and P. chathamica are treated as subspecies within P. walkeri. Three naturalised species are recognised: P. distans from Eurasia, P. fasciculata from North America and Europe, and P. rupestris from Europe. Plants originally described as indigenous P. scott-thomsonii were found to be sterile and are included within P. fasciculata.
