I would really like to get hold of some of this stuff.  I don't
remember seeing it described in any of my books (can anyone provide a
picture ref.?, unless it is the same as L.novea-zelandiae), and I'm
sure I haven't seen it for sale.  Does DAI carry it?  Does anyone have
any extra they'd like to part with?  I don't have anything too exotic to
trade but I do have a large quantity of Rotala rotundifolia that will
have to be hacked out soon.
