Callitriche pulchra is a species of flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae. It is a freshwater aquatic plant (hydrosubshrub) native to Crete, Cyprus, and Libya.[2] It was described in 1967 from specimens gathered on Gavdos Island, Crete by H. D. Schotsman. Additionally, two of Pamapani's specimens were identified at Le Due Palme.[3] Schotsman thereafter classified in 1968 in three different ponds located in Cyrenaica.[4] It was listed in the 2012 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as critically endangered.[1] In 2015 Callitriche pulchra was detected in Cyprus, somewhat reducing its endangered status.[5] Other locations it has been encountered include Greece,[6] Libya[7] and Syria.[8]
