Several ferns in the genus Botrychium are listed as endangered, threatened, or of special concern in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Identification is difficult due to reduced morphological characters, therefore physical features are correlated with genetic differences and to species-specific characters to improve species definitions.
