Salvinia minima is a species of aquatic, floating fern that grows on the surface of still waterways. [1] It is usually referred to as common salvinia or water spangles.

Salvinia or watermosses [1] is a genus of free-floating aquatic ferns in the family Salviniaceae.

Cyrtobagous salviniae is a species of weevil known as the salvinia weevil. It is used as an agent of biological pest control against the noxious aquatic plant giant salvinia (Salvinia molesta). The adult weevil is about 2 millimeters long. It is brown in color during its first few days of adult life and soon turns shiny black.

The Salvinia effect describes the permanent stabilization of an air layer upon a hierarchically structured surface submerged in water. Based on biological models (e.g. the floating ferns Salvinia , backswimmer Notonecta ), biomimetic Salvinia-surfaces are used as drag reducing coatings (up to 30% reduction were previously measured on the first ...
