Occurs in one of the ponds at The Three Sisters, Ellesmere Park (SJ7799, MPG Tolfree, 1997); in the River Irwell south of Regent Bridge (SJ8297, AR Franks, 1996).
Ponds at Eccles & Swinton (SJ7599, TRA Maxwell, 1966).

Once so copious at Eccles (SJ7798, Grindon 1859) for it to be said that rats could run across the Frog-bit covered ponds without getting their feet wet.
