I checked all the CNM records for small prostrate high altitude milfoil including this one, as best I could against characteristics given in Tony Orchard's original description. Our CNM photos really don't have the clarity needed to see the details: plus mostly they are taken in mid-summer before fruit set. So its a bit of a guess to confirm with confidence or to change an ID. However, seems to me that the ID in place already (4 x lophatum; and 1 x pedunculatum) are as good as can be done from photographs. F.Y.I: the most reliable means of separating lophatum from pedunculatum is the shape of the mericarp, and the ornamentation on top of the mericarp.
