Botrychium paradoxum W.H. Wagner two-spiked moonwort Ophioglossaceae (Adder’s Tongue Family) Status: State Threatened, USFWS Species of Concern
Bibliographic record
Abstract
inches tall, the stalk <1/16 to in diameter. Texture varying from delicately herbaceous to robust and fleshy, color glaucous. The sterile segment is absent, replaced by a second fertile segment. The two fertile segments to 1 inches tall, unequal, the shorter one 2/3 the length of the longer one, to equal in length, erect and approximate to one another, nearly sessile to stalked, the stalks up to half the total fertile segment length. Fertile portion mainly linear in outline because the lateral branches are sessile or nearly so and short, usually only 1/16 to 1/8 inch long. Sporangia mostly 2 or 3 per lateral branch. Identification Tips: Very distinct species with 2 sporophores and no tropophore (sterile photosynthetic segment). Phenology: Sporophores are present June through August. Range: Sporadic distribution from British Columbia to Saskatchewan, south to Washington and Utah. Habitat: According to Croft et al. (1997), the species occurs in late seral western redcedar (Thuja plicata) forests on floodplains, stream terraces near perennial or intermittent streams, lower and midslopes, and compacted old roadbeds, as well as in early seral Pinus contorta associations in moist, grazed old homestead meadows. Elevation ranges from 2400 to 6400 feet. Ecology: The taxon may be dependent upon associated endophytic fungi for mineral absorption and carbohydrate nutrition since the species is partially achlorophyllous (lacks chlorophyll) (Wagner and Wagner 1981). State Status Comments: There are only 14 known occurrences in Washington, most with fewer than 10 plants. The species is rare throughout its range. Botrychium paradoxum W.H. Wagner two-spiked moonwort Ophioglossaceae (Adder’s Tongue Family) Inventory Needs: The taxon is difficult to detect because the plants are often hidden under other vegetation. Inventory is needed in areas adjacent to known populations.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
