Botrychium minganense
Also called Mingan Grapefern, Mingan Island Grapefern, Mingan's Moonwort
Botrychium minganense is a species of fern in the family Ophioglossaceae known by the common name Mingan moonwort. It is native to North America from Alaska and northern Canada to Arizona, where it is uncommon throughout most of its range, appearing at scattered spots in coniferous forests and marshy areas such as swamps.
It has a global rank of G5, as it is found across Canada and the United States in small numbers. It has a multitude of local ranks, including, secure in British Columbia, apparently secure in Alberta, the Northwest Territories, Ontario, Quebec, Montana, and Washington State, vulnerable in Newfoundland, Nunavut, California, Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, Oregon, and Wyoming, imperiled in Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nevada, and Wisconsin, and critically imperiled in Labrador, Saskatchewan, Arizona, New York, North Dakota, and Utah. It also might be possibly extirpated in Nova Scotia and Vermont. It was once found in Iceland.
