Trithuria (Hydatellaceae)

Trithuria

Trithuria are small, aquatic or semi-aquatic plants, characterized by their minimalist grass-like appearance. They predominantly grow in shallow, ephemeral water bodies, adapting to dynamic wet-dry cycles. Uniquely, trithuria feature thread-like roots and simple, inconspicuous flowers, which are crucial for their reproduction amid fluctuating aquatic environments.
