AB  - This study addresses a significant knowledge gap concerning the identification and distribution of commercially significant freshwater plants, specifically Azolla, Wolf ia, and Lemna species, within the region of Bintulu, Sarawak. The absence of comprehensive information poses a critical challenge to understanding the ecological dynamics and potential economic impact of these plants. Our research aims to morphologically identify these commercially important freshwater species and document their distribution in Bintulu. Fieldwork involved the collection of macrophyte specimens from three sampling stations in Bintulu, Sarawak, revealing distinct patterns. Azolla, Wolf ia, and Lemna species exhibited varied characteristics. Azolla sp. differed from existing studies, making species identification challenging. Wolf ia sp. likely corresponds to W. globosa, but discrepancies suggest the need for further investigation. Lemna sp. closely aligns with Lemna minor, despite some differences observed in other Lemna species. The study emphasizes the complexity and variability within freshwater plant species, underscoring the importance of detailed morphological analyses for accurate identification.
