There are different types of duckweed, so you will need to check the specific one that you are using, but the scientific name for Common Duckweed is Lemna minor L. If you are writing a scientific report, the first time that you call duckweed by it's scientific name, put it as Lemna minor L., but consequent times, you will just need to refer to it as L. minor.
