What is the name of the smallest flowering plant?
The world’s smallest flowering plant is the wolffia globosa. Wolffia is the smallest genus of the aquatic plants known as duckweeds, which are part of the family lemnaceae. At around 1 mm, the members of the genus wolffia are the world’s smallest flowering plants. These tiny green spheres float with the duckweeds on many local ponds. They feel like small round seeds or sand grains. Watermeal, their common name, refers to the wolffia’s mealy or grainy feel rather than its edibility.
