Northern Groundcone
Boschniakia rossica
57.7745, -152.411
Field Notes
Description:
These are a little past their prime. Here is a nice, fresh one for comparison: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/697054594. They were particularly abundant in this spot.
Habitat:
Shady spruce forest
Notes:
Northern Gorundcone is a parasitic plant that specializes on Alnus (alder), but can parasitize off of other trees and shrubs such as on Betula (birch), Salix (willow), Vaccinium (blueberry), Picea (spruce), and Chamaedaphne (leatherleaf shrub). I believe we have all of these in Kodiak.
