The species is a floating freshwater aquatic plant, with one, two, three or four leaves each having a single root hanging in the water. Like its close relative Lemna minor, it reproduces primarily vegetatively. Unlike L. minor, however, the species is also capable of producing turions, which are starch-filled fronds that sink to the substrate and remain dormant until germinating when conditions are favorable.[citation needed]
Its native range is Northern Europe to Japan, Northern America.[1]
