Kodachrome 35 mm Transparency by W.P. Armstrong, September 1981
This minute plant is seldom seen and it is rarely observed in flower. In fact, some botanists
have stated in the literature that it only reproduces asexually by budding and no longer
produces flowers! Floating on the water surface, it is a difficult subject to photograph.
