Echinodorus Tenellus - Distribution

Distribution

Echinodorus tenellus is found throughout North, Central, and South America, especially in Southern Brazil and the southern states of North America. It may be the widest-distributed of all the Echinodorus, with the most northerly range.

There may be several different variations, which have at times been given separate taxonomic rank.

It is only rarely found in running water. Normally it is found in wet sand on the shores of pools or in inundated zones of rivers.

Famous quotes containing the word distribution:

    The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    Classical and romantic: private language of a family quarrel, a dead dispute over the distribution of emphasis between man and nature.
    Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)

    My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
