Tucked away between train tracks at the back and the many ancient waterways that boast both watervoles as big as guinea pigs and the
wolffia arrhiza, the world's smallest flowering plant, you be forgiven for thinking Alan might not be used to all my prying.
Another aquatic macrophytes such as Potamogeton natans, Myriophyllum aquaticum,
Wolffia globosa, and Typha also showed the high accumulation of Cd [141-143].
Results for accumulation of Pb are in line with the earlier studies on different aquatic plants like
Wolffia arrhiza, [49] Najas indica, [50] C.
El 100% corresponden a plantas de porte herbaceo o herbaceo-subfruticoso; 12% de las especies totales son plantas acuaticas flotantes o sumergidas, las que fueron encontradas principalmente en los canales (como en el caso de Lemna minuta Kunth "lenteja de agua",
Wolffia columbiana H.
Among aquatic plants, the sequences of chloroplast genome have been accomplished for Nuphar advena [53], Najas flexilis [54], Elodea canadensis [55], Utricularia foliosa [56], Lemna minor [57], and three other species in different genera of the Lemnoideae--Spirodela polyrhiza, Wolffiella lingulata, and
Wolffia australiana [58].
