This member of the Isoetaceae
family was given this name by Niel T. Luebke in 1992. It is only found
in the south-eastern U.S.A., growing in swamp and along rivers in a
rich peat with plenty of water and some sun. The caudex can grow to
one and a half centimetre, the leaves to fifteen centimetres length.
The genera name means 'all the
same year round'. The species name from Carolina, where it is found.
