Query on plants
 
Can anyone tell me what plants produce the most oxygen, especially
plants that are relatively small but output a lot of oxygen? I know
about phytoplankton, but I need something on land. Thanks much.

An algae named Chlorella!

Sorry but it doesn't grow on land.

As far as land plants go, only large tropical trees put out the most oxygen.

BTW, where can you buy plants of the "Villain Bush"?

I have a vague recollection of Sphagnum being mentioned. These have the
advantage that plants don't decompose (when left alone) so that the oxygen
is not reabsorbed
