Plants glaucous; densely tufted. Culms 5-20 cm. Sheaths closed for 1/10 – 1/5 their length. Spikelets bulbiferous; florets bulb-forming; anthers aborted, about 0.8 mm or undeveloped. 2n = unknown.

Discussion

Poa glauca var. pekulnejensis is known only from sporadic records in Alaska and the Russian Far East. It can be difficult to distinguish from P. hartzii subsp. vrangelica (p. 589), but differs in its tighter habit and thicker glumes.
