Large population in rich, shady drainage

Great find by botanist and rare plant magnet @mcharpentier of this rare violet. This is a county record. A "stemless blue" violet with a long spur, glabrous petals, pubescent upper leaf surface.

Known population on mafic outcrop.

Growing in dark sandstone crevice. Photos under scope at 10x, 10x and 40x magnification

Visited site to look for possible Oxybasis rubra var rubra as suggested by @mcharpentier. Plants with immature flowers but will try to revisit for ID. Some less upright nearby possibly var humile.

Utricularia resupinata (resupinate bladderwort), Plymouth, MA

Eleocharis equisetoides (horsetail spikesedge), Richmond, RI. Regionally-rare. A new EO.

Herring run spleenwort, more common than you might think....
