plant id/suggestions

["Joe Anderson" <the_submariner at hotmail_com>]

I was hoping someone would be able to help me with a plant id adn some 
suggestions.
1.  on page 23 of Baensch's Atlas Vol 2 there is a "cactus" like plant in 
the left margin.  Any idea what this is?

2. (the reason i was looking through my books) I would like an upright (not 
flowing like cabomba/hornwort etc) platn similar in appearance to Eusteralis 
stellata (pg 22) or either Eichornia diversifolia or Lagarosiphon 
madagascariensis (pg 49)
I prefer something taht will "fill in" but will not start to grow all over 
th tank.  I've seen a similar looking plant in some of Amano's pictures and 
i believe G. Booth has something like this as well, but i couldn't find it 
on his site last night.(too tired to continue looking)
Any helpful info about any of these plants would be appreciated.
Availability might be a deciding factor as well.  I will prob mail order all 
the plants for my new tank.

Also. what are your thoughts/experience with Houttuynia cordata?  Found 
something that I believe to be this at an LFS last week.  I've got three 
stalks in each of three diff tanks to see which type of environment it likes 
best.
Thanks again
Joe
