Researchers were stunned when they discovered a species of seagrass had effectively cloned itself for 4,500 years and covered nearly 80 square miles. Scientists Find World’s Largest Plant In ...
Posidonia is a genus of flowering plants. It contains nine species of marine plants [ 3 ] (" seagrass "), found in the seas of the Mediterranean and around the south coast of Australia . The APG system (1998) and APG II system (2003) accept this genus as constituting the sole genus in the family Posidoniaceae , which it places in the order ...
The ecological community is "the assemblage of plants, animals and micro-organisms associated with seagrass meadows dominated by Posidonia australis occurring in the warm temperate Manning Shelf and Hawkesbury Shelf bioregions on the east coast of Australia."
Scientists have discovered the world's largest plant off the Australia coast — a seagrass meadow that has grown by repeatedly cloning itself. Genetic analysis has revealed that the underwater ...

A form of flowering plant that far exceeds Pando as the largest organism on Earth in area and potentially also mass, is the giant marine plant, Posidonia australis, living in Shark Bay, Australia. Its length is about 180 km (112 mi) and it covers an area of 200 km 2 (77 sq mi). [8] [9] It is also among the oldest known clonal plants.
