Common on the margins of a shallow peaty 'pond' (site often called Hapupu Lagoons). Growing with Myriophyllum triphyllum, Limosella australis, Isolepis cernua, I. basilaris, Callitriche chathamensis and other marginal turf plants.

What's browsing these leaves? There are hundreds of manawa seedlings with bite marks on their leaves. I suspect a bird; herbivorous birds that are seen in the lagoon include geese, black swan, pukeko, mallard and shellduck.
