Abstract:

Isoetes viridimontana is described and illustrated. Plants of this species are currently known only from Haystack Pond, a small, acidic, oligotrophic lake in south central Vermont. Isoetes viridimontana is distinguished from other Isoetes species in northeastern North America by its size (less than 5 cm high) and granulate to rugulate megaspore texture.
