echinosperma,

I think we resemble said vendor.  The specific import we carry Blyxa
echinosperma (as sold to us) is most definately a short plant.  I have
personally been growing it for over a year now and can confirm this.  I am
certain it was mislabled by the grower.  That plant we carry and B.
japonica are one of the same.  I am not saying there is not a tall plant
called B. echinosperma... just that we don't have such a tall plant.  Once
I find multiple listings describing echinosperma decribed as a tall plant,
I will change our listing.
