Puccinellia lemmonii is a species of grass known by the common name Lemmon's alkaligrass.[1] It is native to western North America, particularly the northwestern United States, where it grows in moist, saline soils.

It is a perennial bunchgrass forming clumps of stems up to 40 centimeters in maximum height with narrow, almost hairlike leaves located around the bases. The inflorescence is a spreading array of a few branches containing rough-haired spikelets.
