Stipes on Display?

I looked around this carny but didn't see any stipes on display. Nor did I see any rachises, pinnae, or sori. In fact, I didn't see any fern fronds at all. Go figure.

  1. I recommend that everyone go to see the very telling Carex amphibola/Carex grisea stipe show...

  2. I've never noticed or compared the perigynium stipes of those two very similar species. Can we have further details? Thanks!

  3. It's the stipes of the achenes that put on the show.
