Field Notes

A small fern with one three-lobed vegetative frond, and, periodically, one fertile frond. Botrychium dissectum can be distinguished from other grapeferns in part because the vegetative frond turn a bronze-like color in the fall.
Habitat:
Moist woods.
Notes:
Please let me know if I'm breaking the rules here. I posted pictures of the same individual plant taken over several months to illustrate the changes in color and the fertile frond. I'll repost for each date separately if necessary.
