Plants becoming terrestrial. Rootstock nearly globose 2(–3)-lobed. Leaves deciduous, bright green, pale toward base, less than 8 cm, gradually tapering to tip, often surrounded at base by several black scales to ca. 5 mm, spirally arranged, pliant, gradually tapering to tip. Velum covering entire sporangium. Sporangium wall unpigmented. Megaspores white to gray, lustrous, 200–380 μm diam., ± smooth to obscurely tuberculate; girdle obscure. Microspores brown in mass, 20–30 μm, smooth to papillose. 2n = 22.
Phenology: Spores mature in spring.
Habitat: Vernal pools
Elevation: mostly 0–1500 m
Distribution
Calif., Mexico in Baja California.
Discussion
Isoëtes orcuttii, a vernal pool endemic, may be difficult to distinguish from I. nuttallii, which occurs in a wider range of habitats. Plants of I. orcuttii are generally smaller than those of I. nuttallii, which has longer, thicker, less flexible leaves and larger megaspores.
