Habitat and Ecology [top]
Habitat and Ecology:
L. trisulca will occur in most mesotrophic to eutrophic still or slow-flowing water bodies, although it will also occur in backwaters in fast-flowing rivers. It is tolerant of shade and apparently also of hyper-eutrophication and will often occur where there are very few other aquatic plant species.
Systems: Freshwater
