Too many others to list here
Brideliella wahlenbergii was split from Oncophorus virens and shares many
characteristics with that species. Brideliella wahlenbergii has a much more
abrupt transition from leaf base to limb and is very sheathing. The plants are contorted when
dry and the leaves have plane margins.
We appreciate the University of Colorado Herbarium (COLO), Erin Tripp & Dina Clark for permitting us
to photograph this specimen!
