Tiny plant Lemna minor found floating on the
surface of still water throughout most of the
world, except the polar regions and tropics.
Each plant consists of a flat circular
leaf-like structure 0.4 cm/0.15 in or less
across, with a single thin root below up to
15 cm/6 in long. The plant buds off new
individuals, and can soon cover the surface
of the water. Flowers rarely appear but when
they do, they are minute and sited in a
pocket at the edge of the plant.
