It is found in all states of Australia, growing in shallow water or damp ground. It has a rhizome from which fronds arise with leaflets that look like a 4-leaf clover. Spores are held in a small spore capsule. Being a fern, it does not produce flowers.<br /> Family: Marsileaceae &nbsp; Genus: Marsilea &nbsp; Species: drummondii &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Other<br />Member - John and ValTue, 07 Apr 2015 11:39:00 GMT
