Just wanted to add a little more confusion :-)

The Tropica sites describes two species:

*Hemianthus micranthemoides  ("...is often sold for Micranthemum umbrosum
and a widespread synonym for Hemianthus micranthemoides is Micranthemum
micranthemoides")

and

*Micranthemum umbrosum

I read this as Tropica thinks this is not even the same genus. A search on
my AquaPlant site (www.AquaPlant.org?umbrosum) does not find any use of the
name H. umbrosum. None of the sites in the AquaPlant index describes a third
Hemianthus/Micranthemum.
