1. wolffia

   Wolffia is a genus of free-floating aquatic plants from the duckweed family. It is considered the smallest flowering plant on Earth, usually measuring about 1 mm in length. These tiny plants grow across bodies of water around the world. They are known for their ability to rapidly reproduce and cover large areas. Despite their size, they are able to photosynthesize and are often eaten by waterfowl and even humans in some cultures.

1. Wolffia

   Wolffia is a genus of 9 to 11 species which include the smallest flowering plants on Earth. Commonly called watermeal or duckweed, these aquatic plants resemble specks of cornmeal floating on the water. Wolffia species are free-floating thalli, green or yellow-green, and without roots. The flower is produced in a depression on the top surface of the plant body. It has one stamen and one pistil. Individuals often float together in pairs or form floating mats with related plants, such as Lemna and Spirodela species. Most species have a very wide distribution across several continents. Wolffia species are composed of about 40 percent protein, about the same as the soybean, making them a potential high-protein human food source. They have historically been collected from the water and eaten as a vegetable in much of Asia.
