isoetes
Isoetes is a genus of plants in the family Isoetaceae, commonly known as the quillworts. These plants have a unique growth form that is similar to a bunch of grass. They are usually found submerged in quiet freshwater environments or hidden in wet terrestrial habitats. The plants produce megaspores and microspores, which are generally used in scientific classification. They have a highly cryptic nature, which means they can often go unnoticed.
