  • Question

    This photo was taken yesterday (6/23/2019) at Quincy Bog in Rumney, NH. Not a lot to go on here, but I'm hoping you can steer me in the right direction. The sample depicted here is just a couple inches tall. The photo was taken right at the edge of the bog pond in an area I often see Cicuta bulbifera. Could this be the nascent form of this species?

    Answer

    Dear gdewolf, This photograph, while nicely in focus, doesn't give me enough to go on (at least enough to be confident). It certainly could be a seedling of Cicuta bulbifera (I think that is a good starting hypothesis). Hopefully you might find others at a larger stage to confirm this. Good luck.
