Morphological Characterisation and Documentation of Freshwater Macrophytes in Pontian, Johor's Water

Freshwater macrophytes exist in varied life forms for example, emergent, submerged, floating-leaved and free-floating, and some of them have a heterophylly or multiple forms. The intraspecific variation in terms of morphology is common phenomena in macrophytes population; however, specific studies o...
