01Narrative

矮珍珠，雙子葉植物，葉片呈橢圓形，挺水葉與沉水葉同型。挺水葉能夠開花，花小，有五片白色花瓣，並不常見。沉水葉會依附底床生長，常在水草缸扮演前景草的角色。

05DNA & barcoding3 specimens

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Glossostigma elatinoides has left across the world's sequence archives.

06Genome at a glanceCCDB

The complete instruction manual Glossostigma elatinoides carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.

Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged

2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants. Click any value below to see the underlying records and sources.

09Environmental DNA3 detections

Where the DNA of Glossostigma elatinoides was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
