The D. rotundafolia are intermingled with D. capensis in other areas of
the bog and I have not noticed a major decline in their numbers. It is
only the plants growing in the water they were the largest easily twice
the size of plants growing in soil just inches away. I will pick several
areas and begin to watch the growth of the two plants I will photograph
the areas and in a couple of years I should have an answer.
