   • Each tiny, clover-like 'leaf' of Common duckweed has a single root that hangs in the water and is actually an entire plant - this simple structure is called a 'thallus'. Many of these tiny plants are packed closely together to create the yellow-green 'lawn' often seen on the water's surface. Found throughout the UK, but scarcer in North Scotland.
