  • Question

    found in open hay field, in spring dark red hue, no crown , roots look tuberous

    Answer

    Dear joelnehodahops, I see you were able to upload images (which is great). Your plant appears to be Botrychium multifidum (leathery grapefern), a member of the Ophioglossaceae. This is an infrequent member of clearings and open fields.
