Sisyrinchium strictum inflorescence A. A. Reznicek inflorescence

Gravelly and sandy soil; edge of forests in rocky ground (Baraga Co.); very local and essentially endemic to the Great Lakes region.

This is like Sisyrinchium atlanticum in having narrow stems not darkening on drying and a tendency for the spathes to be geniculate at the base. However, it has the stems minutely denticulate on the margins, not smooth.
