31729
David Barrington (VT) writes 8 Jan 2024:
I noted that your 31729, a collection which I agree is P. kruckebergii, has pinna l:w ratios closer to P. lemmonii that expected and closer than the other collection of this species in your set. Perhaps the difference is phenotypic, related to the two being from different sites. It might be taken as P. kruckebergii X P. lemmonii, but the spores are regular and indeed of the typical size for a tetraploid.
The character I found most useful was the ratio of the length to the maximum width for the medial pinnae—roughly 1:1 in P. lemmonii, 3:1 in P. lonchitis, and (though more variable) around 2:1 in P. kruckebergii. The two hybrids come in around 3:2.

It looked like it might have just come out of its cocoon, since its wings were crinkled.
