Ottelia alismoides, commonly known as duck lettuce, [2] is a species of aquatic plant native to Asia and northern Australia. [1] Due to habitat loss and deterioration, it is endangered in China and Japan, [3] although it is an invasive weed in America. [4] Its genome has also been sequenced, resulting in a 6.45 Gb assembly to help study its unusual carbon metabolism mechanisms and aid in genetic conservation. [5]
