I have never encountered C. lupiliformis in the field, either. Another quick and dirty way to tell specimens is that a quick press of the fingers on the achenes is quite painful, compared to merely uncomfortable for C. lupulina. Now that would be an interesting couplet to see in a key. It looks like we need some work on C. crus-corvi in MI, where it has not been observed since 1952.Bradford Slaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13088133626304196030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675935764461060188.post-16637917220755815472009-07-02T01:16:23.253-07:002009-07-02T01:16:23.253-07:00"Sedges Have Edges" is a line spoken by ..."Sedges Have Edges" is a line spoken by Ed Harris in a weak movie called "Milk Money."Keith Boardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09083771082232156983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675935764461060188.post-31670150937991487852009-07-01T15:17:49.069-07:002009-07-01T15:17:49.069-07:00Sedges have edges...
