Description

Azolla pinnata, also known as feathered mosquito fern, is widely distributed in tropical and temperate regions across Asia, Africa, Madagascar, and Australia. This floating plant thrives in stagnant, nutrient-rich water bodies such as ponds, lakes, and rice paddies, where it receives full sun.
