Puccinellia lucida
Also called Nootka Alkaligrass, Alaska Alkaligrass, Pacific Alkaligrass
Puccinellia lucida is a perennial grass that grows in south-eastern Canada and occasionally elsewhere in the United States. Its specific epithet lucida means "shining", referring to the plant's lustrous glumes.
Puccinellia lucida occurs in saline marches and coastal sands along the lower St. Lawrence River in Quebec, but rare populations have also been found in Wyoming to British Columbia and into California.
