|discussion=<p><i>Puccinellia fasciculata</i> is native to Europe. In the Flora region, it is found principally along the east coast, but it is also established at a few sites in Arizona and Utah, and has been reported from <i>Nevada</i>. All occurrences in the Flora region are probably the result of human introductions.</p>
