It is a rather interesting fact that the various species are seldom mixed to any degree but rather alternate in practically pure communities. Thus in rowing say 500 yds. one may pass over pure colonies of Myriophyllum , Ceratophyllum , and three pure beds of P. Richardsonii , P. Natans , etc. In the shallower water where there are openings between the communities of larger plants Lemna trisulca is often developed in enormous beds so that this light green color contrasts very markedly with the generally duller surrroundings.
