The fern species Marsilea quadrifolia rather resembles a clover species with its quadripartite leaves. It grows in shallow water zones of lakes, stagnant waters and ponds, and it requires recurring disturbance of the soil for its dispersal. It had been considered extinct in the area but was rediscovered in 1986 in a small pond near Neuburgweier. Within the state-wide Species Protection Programme the stands could be increased by pig grazing on the site. Read more
