Botrychium Dissectum F. Oblongifolium

Botrychium dissectum f. oblongifolium is a rare fern species known for its unique leaf structure and delicate appearance. This fern belongs to the family Ophioglossaceae and is characterized by its dissected, elongated fronds that give it a distinct look. It is typically found in moist, shaded environments, often in forest floors or along stream banks. The varietal form, oblongifolium, stands out due to its broader and more elongated leaves compared to the typical species. Its presence in certain regions highlights the biodiversity of understory plant life in temperate woodlands.
