[Puccinellia ambigua is known from three locations (Hay et al., 1990:289; Bouchard et al. 1991) on the west coast of Nfld. Some sources describe P. pumila as a coastal Beringian species, but Aiken et al. (1996+) take a broader view, extending the range of P. pumila across NA. P. ambigua, described as an endemic of Hudson & James Bays and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, is considered by J. Davis to be a possible variant of P. pumila (Hays et al., 1990). Also, Scoggan (1978) stated that P. ambigua includes the type of P. alaskana, here included in P. pumila.]
