|discussion=<p><i>Isoëtes orcuttii</i>, a vernal pool endemic, may be difficult to distinguish from <i>I. nuttallii</i>, which occurs in a wider range of habitats. Plants of <i>I. orcuttii</i> are generally smaller than those of <i>I. nuttallii</i>, which has longer, thicker, less flexible leaves and larger megaspores.</p>
