Looks like Lemna sp.! -- Fice (talk) 09:40, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed the genus of this plant. Maybe you can recognize the specie to? DenesFeri (talk) 09:48, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, image quality is too poor for a proper identification. Moreover, the location is not explicit. The most common species is Lemna minor, but it could be another species as well. -- Regards, Fice (talk) 10:07, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The location is WWT London Wetland Center, UK. - England. DenesFeri (talk) 10:15, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What kind of place is that? Apparently not a natural habitat, isn't it? So, I can't decide, whether these plants are growing there naturally or anthropogenically introduced. In case of a natural population, Lemna minor is a very plausible ID. -- Fice (talk) 10:34, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is that place [1] And I do not know if that specie is natural or introduced there. But thanks for your trying!

This is the article about Lemna minor [2]

„Lemna minor is structurally adapted to grow quickly. That enables it to populate bodies of water rapidly. It overcomes inter-species competition by growing a thick carpet over still water bodies, thereby shading out other plant species below it and eliminating the competition. With intra specific competition, it will compete by absorbing as much of its surrounding resources as possible so that it has the energy to grow and reproduce.“ DenesFeri (talk) 10:46, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
