  • Question

    Today I randomly came across pictures of butomus umbellatus as the plant I submitted an ID request for so if it doesn't need to be posted it can be tabled from the postings!

    Answer

    Dear BrianW, good morning. The image you uploaded for an ID request is not Butomus umbellatus. That species has dimorphic tepals and different fruits. The image you posted is another species. If you have additional images, please send them to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org so that I may help you with your request.
