Isoetes sp. Maxell River (Isoetaceae)

 
Isoetes sp. Maxell River is a rare native aquatic plant. It only grows on alkaline pans along a few rivers in the south-west (e.g. the Maxwell River). Like other quillwort species, the leaves are cylindrical and in clumps. The leaves are rigid and the sporangia are covered by a membranous layer (the velum).
