Wolffia globosa, more commonly known as the Asian watermeal. The watermeal isn’t just the world’s smallest fruit—it’s the world’s smallest flowering plant, period.It’s a type of duckweed, and the minuscule fruit it produces is smaller than any other. At its biggest, the plant itself reaches about one-third of an inch, and the fruit is even tinier. Its size ranges from 0.7 to 1.5 millimeters. For comparison, that’s about the size of the Thief Ant, one of the world’s smallest ant species. If you were to hold the fruit, it would be nothing but a tiny speck in your hand. . . . . . .
