Taxonomic Comments
Williams et al. (2016) as here expand the concept of Botrychium matricariifolium to include B. acuminatum, formerly considered a Great Lakes endemic, while Kartesz (1994) and Flora North America (vol. 2, 1993) treat them as distinct. Williams et al. (2016) also confirms Botrychium michiganense is a genetically distinct species.
