Wolffia (Araceae) 4b:32
   
Wolffia australiana (tiny duckweed) is considered to be the smallest flowering plant in the world. These are minute (<1.2 mm long), free-floating native aquatics in still or slow-flowing water. They have no leaves, stems or roots, only a tiny green thallus. The flowers are extremely reduced.
