Festuca groenlandica, commonly known as the Greenland fescue, is a species of grass in the Festuca genus and Poaceae family. It is endemic to Greenland. The Flora of North America accepts this species.[1] Other sources regard it as a synonym of Festuca brachyphylla.[2]
In 1977 it was considered a subspecies to F. brachyphylla by Signe Frederiksen,[3] who then later in 1983 promoted it to its own species, F. groenlandica.[4]
