|discussion=<p>Population of <i>Isoëtes lacustris</i> in Tennessee and Virginia are disjunct.</p><!--
--><p>North American plants of <i>Isoëtes lacustris</i> have been segregated as I. macrospora; both taxa are decaploids (2n = 110) and have similar leaf and spore morphology. Then cannot reliably be distinguished from each other except on the basis of geography.</p><!--
--><p><i>Isoëtes lacustris</i> is a totally submerged aquatic. Plants have been found at depths of more than 3 m. Plants with rugulate megaspores bearing smooth, rounded ridges and a smooth girdle have been called I. hieroglyphica A. A. Eaton [I. macrospora f. hieroglyphica (A. A. Eaton) N. E. Pfeiffer].</p><!--
--><p><i>Isoëtes lacustris</i> hibridizes with <i>I. echinospora</i> [ = I. x hickeyi W. C. Taylor & Luebke]; <i>I. engelmannii</i>; <i>I. riparia</i> [ = I. x jeffreyi D. M. Britton & Brunton]; and with <i>I. tuckermanii</i> [ = I. x harveyi A. A. Eaton].</p>
