Landoltia punctata

Summary 2

Spirodela punctata (or Landoltia punctata) is a species of duckweed (Lemnaceae). The species is morphologically intermediate between Lemna and other species of Spirodela. In 1999 D.H. Les and D.J. Crawford proposed segregating the species to a new genus Landoltia containing just the species L. punctata, on the basis of biochemical and DNA studies.
