Azolla
rubra (red azolla; formerly known as A.
filiculoides) is the only member of this genus and of
the family Azollaceae in Tasmania. It is a common native
aquatic plant in Tasmania. It is particularly common on farm
dams and other still water bodies. The plants are small
(usually only a few cm across) and float, but can be very
abundant and form large mats. The plants are typically red,
and have very small water repellent leaves.
