Azolla filiculoides Lamarck. Section: Azolla. Large Mosquito Fern. Hab: Freshwater lakes, beaver ponds, artificial impoundments. Dist: Native of w. North America, south into Mexico, Central America, South America, e. Asia. This species is reported for e. GA from a freshwater lake on Sapelo Island, McIntosh County (Bates & Browne 1981), presumably as an accidental introduction. Bunch & Hayden (2020) report it for two locations in the Coastal Plain of VA (Chesterfield and Sussex counties). It seems likely to be more widespread that currently reported.
