''Lepilaena'' is a genus of aquatic and marine flowering plant comprising 6 or more species endemic to coastal and brackish or akaline inland waters of temperate Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand.〔 The species are appended with common names that derive from their description as water-mats; for example, ''L. australis'' is referred to as Austral water-mat and ''L. marina'' as Sea water-mat. Interpretation of molecular evidence for this poorly studied genus suggests a close affinity with ''Zannichellia'', another genus of aquatic plants.〔 Two species are noted for their occurrence in marine environs, ''L. cylindrocarpa'' and ''L. marina'', in estuaries and tidal flats.〔 ''L. cylindrocarpa'' is also found in a variety of brackish inland waters of mainland Australia.〔 Other species may be found in habitats of fresh to brackish, still or slowly moving, coastal or inland waters. == Species == The species currently recognised include: *''Lepilaena australis'' (type species, aquatic) *''Lepilaena bilocularis'' (aquatic) *''Lepilaena cylindrocarpa'' (brackish water, marine〔) *''Lepilaena marina'' (marine〔) *''Lepilaena patentifolia'' (aquatic) *''Lepilaena preissii'' (aquatic) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lepilaena」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
