Range & habitat
C. filiformis is found around seasonally-flooded pools, alongside rutted tracks, and growing on heathlands of acid grassland with sandy or peaty soils. It grows best in areas where there are also free-roming grazing animals and few competitive species. C. filiformis tends to be found alongside several other species of declining plants including three-lobed water-crowfoot (Ranunculus tripartitus), chaffweed (Anagallis minima), allseed (Radiola linoides), and pillwort (Pilularia globulifera).
