Lemnoideae (Duckweeds) Bab. 1843
plant subfamily in the araceae family

Other classifications, particularly those created prior to the end of the twentieth century, place them as a separate family, Lemnaceae. These plants have a simple structure, lacking an obvious stem or leaves. The greater part of

The dodder resembles a pile of light yellow to orange-red straw wrapped tightly around its host plant.
