The geographical distribution and the differences with related species are included. Poa taltalensis Pilg. is considered as Puccinellia frigida (Phil.) l. M. Johnst. and synonymy is given. A key for the extrapatagonic species of the genus Puccinellia is provided, as well as synonymy and geographical distribution.
