Drepanocladus longifolius has a long excurrent costa, unlike our other members of Drepanocladus. The
costa is so attenuate that it becomes nearly filiform toward the apex. Drepanocladus longifolius is not common in New Mexico,
but is found along waterways and lakes.
Many thanks to the University of Colorado Herbarium (COLO), Erin Tripp, & Dina Clark for permitting us
to visit and photograph this specimen.
