INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO
  • date of photo  Aug 8, 2011
  • location   El Dorado NF. Approximately 40 meters NW of unpaved Forest Service road, ca. 1.2 air km N of Angel Creek / Long Meadow, ca. 1 air km S of Francis Cow Camp; Elevation ca. 1742 meters. (El Dorado County, California, US)
  • family Ophioglossaceae
  • plant community   Montane meadow-like habitat in montane mixed coniferous forest. Moist, loamy soil with moderate leaf litter/organic content.
  • notes   An electrophoresis analysis by Dr. Donald Farrar concluded that this taxon may be a hybrid of B. paradoxum X B. minganense, and that the morphology also suggests this since one of the 'sporophore' segments has somewhat expanded pinnae (pers. comm. between D. Farrar and J. Clines 2012).
