Resumen:
Some species of Central and South American quillworts, Isoëtes L, have the ability to reproduce both by the normal spore cycle as well as by vegetative reproduction such as foliar gemmae and proliferation of the corms. The latter method is faster to produce reproductively mature plants thus increasing the length of the effective growing season. This trait, described here in I. storkii Palmer from Volcan Poas, Costa Rica, is discussed and serves as a basis for reconsideration of the generic concept Stylites Amstutz and the taxonomy of the I. lechleri Mett. complex
