Abstract

APONTE, Héctor. New record for Lomas de Lachay (Lima, Peru): first record of Lemna minuta kunth (Araceae). Ecol. apl. [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.1, pp.57-60. ISSN 1726-2216.

The presence of a population of Lemna minuta in Lomas de Lachay is reported. This species is not currently in the list of plants of any lomas formation and corresponds to the first report of a floating aquatic plant in a seasonal ecosystem like this. The population of this species has been observed occupying one of the few bodies of water in two consecutive years. Possible ways of dispersal of this species to this ecosystem are discussed.

Keywords : aquatic plants; dispersion; duckweed; Lemna; lomas formation.
