Wolffiella floridana
Mud-midget
Mud-midget, native to
Florida, is another
small duckweed, but this one has narrow, elongated fronds. The fronds are usually connected to
form starlike colonies. The fronds are 5-10 mm long; the flowers are extremely small and
difficult to see.
Mud-midget plants float just beneath the surface of the water. Two species of
Wolffiella occur in Florida.
