| Marsilea
mutica (Smooth Nardoo) is the only member of this genus in
Tasmania. It is a very rare aquatic plant in Tasmania,
known only from a single dam at Geeveston and on the creek
downstream. It is considered to be introduced. It is an extremely
distinctive plant. The leaf lamina strongly resembles a four-leaved
clover and floats on the surface of the water. The leaves have long
stalks arising from the rhizome which is typically embedded in a
muddy substrate. The sporangia occur in sporocarps attached by
stalks to the rhizome. |
