|discussion=<p><i>Botrychium montanum</i> may come to be recognized as a subspecies of the eastern <i>B. mormo</i>, from which it differs in lacking an attached gametophyte and in having a more dissected trophophore apex, glaucous blades, shorter trophophore stalk, earlier seasonal development, and full opening of sporangia when mature. <i>Botrychium montanum</i> and <i>B. mormo</i> differ from <i>B. simplex</i> in being more robust and in having truncate, adnate, lateral lobes on the trophophore blade and dentate to deeply cleft trophophore apex.</p>
