Puccinellia fasciculata
Also called Borrer's Saltmarsh Grass, Borrer's Salt Marsh Grass, Torrey's Meadowgrass, Clustered Goosegrass, Salt Grass, Tufted Salt Marsh Grass
Puccinellia fasciculata, or Borrer's saltmarsh grass, is an annual grass native to coasts of Europe and introduced to the northern east coast of North America. Its diploid number is 28.
Puccinellia fasciculata prefers sandy and saline seashores from Nova Scotia to Virginia in North America, though it is native to Europe. It can also be found at a few individual sites in Arizona, Utah, and Nevada. All occurrences of the species in North America are likely introductions of the species to the region by humans.
