Discussion
Principally an eastern North American species–and the only species of its genus endemic to North America–Ceratophyllum echinatum is disjunct in the Pacific Northwest as a result of repeated Pleistocene glaciation. The habitats of C. echinatum are typically more acidic (avg. pH 6.6) than those of C. demersum (avg. pH 7.4). The two species only rarely coexist. Ceratophyllum echinatum also thrives in cooler, clearer, and more oligotrophic water than C. demersum and often is found in more ephemeral sites, such as shrub swamps (e.g., with Cephalanthus occidentalis) and beaver ponds.
This species, relatively uncommon, is fast disappearing from much of its range because of habitat alteration or destruction and the introduction of nonindigenous species; steps should be taken to secure its conservation. Unlike Ceratophyllum demersum, C. echinatum does not attain status as a serious weed.
