Three-Cornered Pond. The concept of subspecies by Wiersema & Hellquist was published in Rhodora 96 (1994). Because the two subspecies overlap and hybridize across an extensive area (including Massachusetts), there is plenty of intermediate forms. This exhibit currently contains all those records that could not be assigned to ssp. tuberosa, including those cases when photographs did not provide enough info for identification.
