Isoetes (Isoetaceae)   Tasmania has five native species of Isoetes (quill worts). These are all aquatic or semi-aquatic plants with cylindrical or conical leaves arranged in grass-like tufts (though the leaves are often much thicker than those of most grasses). The spores occur in sporangia in the axils of the leaves.
