Growing near some western sword fern. Last photo shows some obvious western sword fern growing out of the same bunch. But I've never seen any one like this... Mutation? Hybrid?

I'm not sure about the species. We were calling it E. albofaciolatus. We pulled it out of a big pile of coconut husks. Apologies for the terrible photos.

gwenlhDescription
Now that I have explored more at the head of Mamquam Blind Channel I have decided that this species is much more widespread than I first thought. It seems to be mixed with Limosella aquatica and Lysimachia maritima on the flats in the low tide zone. This observation is from the west side of the channel, opposite the peninsula I have been visiting. Pinched stems and umbrella-shaped blooms.
