Plants is: |
| Sagittaria fasciculata | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Endemic to two counties of the Carolinas, this aquatic herb has a severely threatened habitat. The mountain bogs in which Sagittaria fasciculata occurs have been drained for residential development and pasture. In the few remaining suitable sites, the population growth of nearby cities presents the continual threat of disturbance. Several other rare plants share the restricted habitat of Sagittaria fasciculata, making the protection of these areas a top priority.
