 The Lemnaceae (Duckweed Family)
In Spirodela, Landoltia and Lemna it is a flattened structure with slender, hairlike roots on the underside.
Spirodela and Landoltia are unique among duckweeds because of a minute, membranous scalelike leaf (prophyllum) enveloping the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the basal end.
In Spirodela polyrrhiza the prophyllum is visible on young plants (fugacious in older plants) and on overwintering turions.
