This needs a complete revision
Is the separation of the grapeferns tenable? I think the latest word is "certainly not"... in any case species need to be reviewed and Botrypus is one hell of a mess. Dysmorodrepanis 00:55, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
- I think the consensus at the Plant project is that it is at least reasonable to have a page for every genus level, though not necessarily for every species levels. I'm doing an undergraduate research project on Botrychiums this year so I'll try to get some more sources added when I come across their journal articles. Ataylor18 (talk) 01:30, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
I'm concerned that the Botrychium lunarioides picture is not actually a B. lunarioides. The trophophore looks nothing like I've seen before and the sporophore seems too upright and diminished. The pinnae should be more rounded on the apex and spread out. It usually sits flush with the ground, not slightly above as in this picture. There is normally alot more sporangia. To me, it just looks more like a B. virginianum than a B. lunarioides but I'm not saying it's that, either. Maybe someone can give a third opinion, here. :)
