Abstract:

Abstract.? A new species, Isoetes libanotica Musselman, Bolin microspore length ranges from 25 to 30 ?m, with echinate ornamentation. At the type locality of I. libanotica, two other Isoetes L. species occur sympatrically. These superficially similar Isoetes species can be differentiated from I. libanotica using megaspore characters; I. duriei Bory has larger alveolate megaspores and I. olympica A. Braun has a prominent equatorial girdle.Abstract.? A new species, Isoetes libanotica Musselman, Bolin microspore length ranges from 25 to 30 ?m, with echinate ornamentation.
