 The common name is "watermeal."  As I recall, Wolffia is the world's
 smallest flowering plant.  Looks like bright green poppy seeds floating
 on the water.  I've had it get 1/2" or more thick in aquariums, where one
 has to be careful that it doesn't get sucked up into a filter, eaten by
 fish or snails, or overwhelmed by it's larger "cousins."  I've carefully
 kept Wolffia going for years in cultivation but, despite rapid vegetative
 reproduction, I just can't imagine how this plant survives in the wild!
