Please try our next iteration of the Michigan Flora Online here. Beginning on February 1, 2023, michiganflora.net will point to this new site.

The new site offers several benefits over the existing website, including real coordinate mapping, giving a clearer view of the density of documentation as well as more precision about plant distributions and their link to landforms. We will also have the ability to update species pages more regularly, both in terms of new collections and as more existing Michigan specimens are georeferenced. In addition, we have a better photo display, and offer indented keys.

Included in C. nutans in Michigan Flora.

Limestone pavement (alvar); very local. Similar to C. nutans, but usually smaller.

In C. brachypodum, the pedicels, at least of the lowest flowers, are often ± reflexed from the base, while in C. nutans, the pedicels are usually erect to spreading, with a bend at the apex producing the nodding capsule.
