This species is very closely allied to Botrychium japonicum 
Underw.(= B. daucifolium ß. japonicum Peantl, Beitr. z. Syst, der 
Ophioglos. p. 340), differing from the latter, however, by having the 
wholly latericious-coloured frond, more conspicuous and closer veins, 
narrower and more tapering extreme segments, Ionger-petiolulate 
and broader lower pinnules, and shorter and closer serration; both 
species grow in the same place.
