--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>forming diffuse or dense clones. <b>Roots</b> arising at nodes. <b>Petioles</b> 2–20 cm, sparsely pubescent. <b>Pinnae</b> 4–19 × 4–16 mm, pubescent to glabrous. <b>Sporocarp</b> stalks erect, unbranched, attached at base of petiole (occasionally up to 3 mm above it), not hooked at apex, 0.5–25 mm. <b>Sporocarps</b> perpendicular or slightly nodding, 3.6–7.6 × 3–6.5 mm, 1.5–2 mm thick, elliptic to nearly round in lateral view, pubescent but soon glabrate, scars left by fallen trichomes often appearing as purple or brown specks; raphe 1.1–1.7 mm, proximal tooth 0.3–0.6 mm, blunt, distal tooth 0.4–1.2 mm, acute, often hooked at apex. <b>Sori</b> 14–22.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>A number of segregate species have been named and recognized in regional floras in North America: <i>Marsilea</i> mucronata A. Braun (less hairy, found east of Rocky Mountains), M. uncinata (glabrous, sporocarp stalks long, distal tooth of sporocarp hooked, south central United States), <i>M. tenuifolia</i> (pinnae very narrow, central Texas), and M. fournieri (small plants and pinnae, southwest). The features upon which these species are based intergrade into one another. The species are therefore best treated as conspecific with <i>M. vestita</i> (D. M. Johnson 1986).</p><!--
--><p>Putative hybrids between <i>Marsilea macropoda</i> and this species are discussed under the former.</p>
