Family Isoetaceae
Isoetes plants look like small clumps of chives with long pointed
leaves growing up and roots growing down from a rounded bulb-like base.
Like ferns, clubmosses and horsetails, quillworts show an alternation of
sexual and asexual generations and the plant you see growing is the
sporophyte or asexual phase.
