Does indeed look like a plant that could very easily be over looked.

This is native to the USA and Canada and for that reason, along with differences in flower form has been classified differently from the European species.

There actually were several of them and I did almost step on one even though I knew it was tyhere. They are that tiny.

Its so elegant. A well prepared photo as always Ron.
brachypoda --> arm footed, branch footed. Any ideas on why the name was chosen Ron?

I've looked, Tindo, and cannot find the reason for its name. Rather unusual name but there is probably some flower feature that warrants it.

Really cool, great find and great photos.
