I found what was identified by local irisarians as I pseudacorus growing in a
stream next to my house in RI. It was a very rural area - I could only see
one other house and cars passed in front of our house on a state highway
about once every 5 or 10 minutes during the day - in the west central part of
the RI highlands. It was a swampy area.
