Abstract

Puccinellia stapfiana R.R. Stewart, an endemic grass closely allied to P. himalaica Tzvelev and P. tenuiflora (Griseb.) Scribn. & Merr., has been rediscovered from Ladakh in Jammu & Kashmir after a gap of 135 years. This species was first collected by T. Thomson in 1847. It is described and illustrated.
