shoreweed

The open water plants include shoreweed growing on the lake floor, along with the superficially similar quillwort.

Consequently, many species of aquatic plants exist including water lobelia, quillwort and shoreweed.

The Shoreweed Littorella uniflora, a little plant with cylesbrical pointed awl-shaped leaves 5-10cm long and long stalked stamens is now very rare in the English lowlands due to habitat loss.

This basin contains a well-developed population of sterile-rosette aquatic vegetation, with several species considered either rare, or with a restricted range within the State of Wisconsin, such as the plantain shoreweed (Littorella uniflora).

The locally rare wood carpet moth was found at Pawston Lake in 1929, and a number of nationally or locally scarce plants are also present, including the autumnal water starwort, blunt leaved pondweed, gypsywort, maiden pink and shoreweed.
