Hello all,

     I thought I had this straight but now I'm confused again: 
I recently bought some Pearlgrass from 2 different Web - based aquatic plant 
sites.
Both samples have 2 leaves per node.  I thought Pearlgrass had 4 leaves per 
node?
It seems that there are at least 3 different plants commonly sold as 
Pearlgrass/Baby Tears:  Micranthemum micranthemoides, (2 leaf and 4 leaf per 
node varieties) and 
M. umbrosum. Tom Barr has mentioned in the past that he has grown all of them.
I know what M. umbrosum looks like, but I'm confused about the other 2 
species.
Can anyone identify the other 2?

Thanks,
Andrew
