This is the rarest and the most restricted in its Irish range 
of the four North American plants found in Kerry. Unlike 
the Stsyrinchium and Juncus tenuis already referred to, its 
standing as a native of the British Isles has never been called 
in question. At present, the Naias is known in three lakes 
in Kerry and one in Galway ; it is very probable, however, 
that when the lakes in the west of Ireland have been more 
thoroughly explored, the range of this plant will be much 
extended. It is known in one locality in England, and two 
in Scotland. Elsewhere it is found in several localities in 
northern Europe and is known to occur in Asia. On the 
other side of the Atlantic it is found in ponds and streams 
nearly throughout North America.
