Xyris isoetifolia is a plant species native to southern Alabama and to the Florida panhandle,[1] where it is found in coastal plains, Sphagnum bogs, and the edges of sinkholes.[2][3]
Xyris isoetifolia is a perennial herb up to 40 cm (16 inches) tall. Leaves are rather narrow, twisted, rarely more than 1 mm in width but up to 15 cm (6 inches) long, thus superficially resembling those of Isoetes.[2][4]
