Small Duckweed is native, individual plants consist of one to several very small
smooth oval leaves that lie almost flat on the water surface and float freely. The leaf
has a slightly raised midvein on its surface. Roots and flower parts are present, but
difficult to see. Plant colonies can cover broad areas of calm water in ponds and lakes,
and may mass up against shorlines. They can create a nuisance to water flow and
aesthetics. |
