COSEWIC Assessment Summary
Assessment Summary – May 2004

Reason for designation : Small perennial herb reproducing both by seed and extensively by vegetative spread. It is geographically highly restricted and present in Canada at only three estuaries in Nova Scotia. The area of occupancy is very small but the population is large. No declines of significance have been documented over the past 15 years. It does not appear to have any imminent threats; however, future shoreline development or degradation could destroy extant populations.
