Bolivian bromeliad ( Puyaraymondii) is another large plant, whose spike reaches a height of ten metres with 8000 flowers on it.



Wolffia punctata, a duckweed, is the smallest flowering plant. It floats on water and forms large floating masses on ponds. It is a very small plant and has one or two disc-like leaves and hanging roots. The smallest plant can measure half a millimetre across.
