It forms fairly monocultural stands with few other species, but shares this habitat with the tiny free-floating aquatic carnivorous plant ''Utricularia gibba'' subsp. ''exoleta'' in sheltered areas where the waters are calm. Hippo grass can also be found here together with other plants in areas where different habitats meet, transitioning briefly with the herb '' Polygonum senegalense'' and else ...
