Re: Gratiola officionalis

Cavan,

in the SFBAAPS group we have been sharing a plant we've called Gratiola 
sp., I believe it is G. Officinalis. If they are the same plant, it is very 
desirable, it grows out a little like E. stellata, but not nearly as picky. 
It stays predominantly green on topleaf, but the underside is pink-magenta 
in strong light.

Jim.
