Main Taxa
One of the largest collections of living vascular aquatic plants including all five genera of Lemnaceae - Spirodela, Lemna, Landoltia, Wolffia and Wolffiella - representing thirty-seven species.
Description
The CNR-IBBA-MIDW Collection have recently incorporated the renowned Landolt’s duckweed collection, preserving about 600 duckweed clones from the five continents. All the worldwide recognized genera and species are included representing the wide distribution characterizing this family of small aquatic plants. All clones are constantly in-vitro cultivated and preserved.
