  • Question

    Good morning, These pictures were taken in a salt Marsh in Rye, New Hampshire. Is it possible that the subspecies of bulrush (Bolboschoenus) could be determined from these images? Thanks so much for helping me, Von

    Answer

    Dear Von, good morning. From the images you have supplied, it isn't possible. I need to see achenes, leaf sheaths, and close-ups of scales. If you want to collect a specimen and send it to me for determination, let me know. My email address is ahaines@nativeplanttrust.org (so we can discuss further if you wish).
