Discussion
Population of Isoëtes lacustris in Tennessee and Virginia are disjunct.
North American plants of Isoëtes lacustris 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.
Isoëtes lacustris 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].
Isoëtes lacustris hibridizes with I. echinospora [ = I. x hickeyi W. C. Taylor & Luebke]; I. engelmannii; I. riparia [ = I. x jeffreyi D. M. Britton & Brunton]; and with I. tuckermanii [ = I. x harveyi A. A. Eaton].
