Rachilla internodes usually sparsely hispidulous or sparsely softly puberulent.

Discussion
Poa fendleriana subsp. longiligula tends to grow to the west of the other two subspecies, in areas where winter precipitation is more consistent and summer precipitation less consistent. Apomixis is far more common and widespread than sexual reproduction in this subspecies. Apomictic populations range from southwestern British Columbia to Baja California, Mexico, throughout the Great Basin and Colorado plateaus, and eastward across the Rocky Mountains. Sexual populations are mainly confined to northern Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah.
