Comments
Habitat
Slow sections of cold-water, nutrient-poor streams. Rare, n. mountains; Isoetes lacustris has been found only in Passage Creek in Virginia, disjunct from the species’ main range from New York northward. Hybrids with I. engelmannii also occur at that site and may threaten the Lake Quillwort by displacement.
