Abstract
A previously undescribed pteridophyte, Isoetes junciformis, is reported fro m Tift County, Georgia. This new tetraploid appears to be a rare endemic of the upper Coastal Plain region. It is suspected to be an allopolyploid, po ssibly arising from the hybrid between I. flaccida and I. melanopoda.
