The fruit of W. angusta is 0.30 mm long (1/80th of an inch) and weighs about 70 micrograms (1/400,000 of an ounce). Even though it is the smallest fruit in the world, it is one of the largest fruits relative to the size of the parent plant. The common size of the parent plant of the two example species of Wolffia is less than one millimetre in ...

[4] According to Guinness World Records The fruit of Wolffia angusta is the smallest of any flowering plant, only 1/100th inch (0.25 mm) and weighs only 1/400,000th of an ounce (70 micrograms). [5]
The growth rate of Wolffia varies within and among species. The rates of photosynthesis and respiration also vary proportionately to growth rate. The fastest growth rate (in fact, the fastest growth rate of any flowering plant) is shown by a clone of Wolffia microscopica, with a doubling time of 29.3 hours.
