Significant sighting

13 Oct 2022

This species is under recorded in our region with less than a dozen records and most from the 1970s. It is perhaps not surprising that it is poorly recorded as it is one of the tiniest vascular plants there is anywhere.

User's notes

Very tiny freshwater plant. Forming a thick fringe to edge of wetland. Wolffia mixed up with traces of Lemna disperma, and a few traces of Azolla filiculoides.
