  • Question

    On 18 Sept at Race Point (Wash.Co.Maine) I saw several Spiranthes in the wet grassy spot near a tiny pond. I think they are S.cernua (I used the key in your Flora NA) but they are bedraggled by age and recent rain. They don't have any green visible at top and iNat suggested S.arcisepala, but the lateral sepals don't droop below the labellum (except in the browned ones).Can you tell from this photo?
